Story nerd here. Love how you went back face-to-face explained the why and then gave two straightforward options focused on them. Congrats. Takes guts.

Only add to the story would have been to give us an insight into what that meeting was really like. Were you nervous (like most people) how did they act during the meeting, and how much smiling did you do when they accepted? Would love to hear the specifics. Great share, am following, Mark
