I gave James a reassuring nod and told him that changes were on the horizon, though I kept the details to myself. “Just hang in there,” I said with a grin, “I’ve got a plan brewing.” He looked intrigued but didn’t push for more, and in that brief moment of camaraderie, I felt a genuine connection. Keeping my intentions under wraps was necessary for now, but with every conversation and observation, my determination to turn things around only grew stronger.
