I've been contemplating calling Jiro for several hours. After all, he did give me his business card. I really do need a publisher.

After another half an hour contemplating, I finally give in and call him.

After a few rings, a low monotone voice answers the phone.

"Hello, this is Jiro of Blackwood Publishing Firm, How may I help you?"

"Hi Jiro, This is Juliet Knight. We met at the cafe last night."

"Ah, hello Ms. Knight. I'm guessing you thought it over?" I could hear the curiosity lacing his voice.

"Just Juliet is fine, and I did actually. Would you mind meeting up with me at the cafe to chat?" I start tugging at a tuft of hair out of nervous habit.

"Alright, meet you at noon." with that he ended the call.
