Fair Catch (37 page)
Authors: Cindy Roland Anderson
A spark of interest ignited in Sophie as she finally got what Camille might be trying to say. If this Jack Mathison still did that, it would be the perfect setup. Sophie could search for her father while doing humanitarian work.
“You could go look for your father while at the same time be doing your doctor stuff and Jack can be your guide!” Camille said, confirming they were on the same page.
Sophie sat down on a chair, her mind going a million miles an hour. The logistics of her traveling to Costa Rica seemed insurmountable, but the warmth inside her chest confirmed this was exactly what she was supposed to do.
“Sophie, you still there?” Camille asked.
“Yes. It
is
a brilliant idea.”
“I know, right!”
Camille’s enthusiasm made Sophie smile. “Does your brother know how I can get a hold of Mr. Mathison?”
“I’m not sure. Tyson and his wife just left for a Caribbean cruise. I’ve emailed him, but I have no idea when he’ll get the message, or what he can do until he comes back.”
A chime alerted Sophie of an incoming text, bringing her back to the present. Peter was still engrossed in his conversation, and she hoped the text wasn’t the hospital calling her in for an emergency. He wouldn’t be very happy about turning around and taking her back right now.
Reaching down to get her purse, she slipped her phone from the outside pocket. A tiny smile curved her lips when she read the message from Camille.
Houston, we are go for launch. Call me ASAP.
Before Sophie could reply, Camille sent her another text. This one made Sophie want to roll her eyes at her friend’s impertinence.
FYI: JM is still single!
