He gestured to a chair and smiled, his fingers crossed on the desk. "I have some good news for you."
My heart skipped a beat. "What is it, Dr. Cullen?"

Surprise surged through me. Going abroad for training has always been a dream and I wouldn’t give up on any chance for the sake of my jerk husband anymore.
Tears welled up in my eyes. "Of course, Dr. Cullen! I'd be honored to accept your offer. Thank you so much!"
He smiled, “You still have time to prepare.”
