I sigh in relief.
"Alexandra?" I hear Patrick say.
"Yes, Patrick. Hello."
"Hi, I'm glad I can get a hold of you. I've got news, I want to hire you as my Junior project manager!"
"Are you serious?" I ask, incredulous.
"Absolutely, I mean it was pretty obvious you interviewed fantastically."
"Patrick, that's incredible. Thank you!"
"I don't know what your availability is, but I'd like to have you onboard by tomorrow if possible."
"Sure, I can start tomorrow."
"Great! I'm really excited to team up with you. I think we have a good project in our hands. See you tomorrow, 9 A.M."
We hang up, and I start hopping side to side, holding my phone close to my chest. The aphorism rests firmly on me; night is always darker before dawn... And life is the same way.

Niomi2921almost 3 years agoThe rule of thumb for story telling is making the audience care about your characters. You’ve done it. While there wasn’t any Alex/Chris moments, it seems like a natural flow in the time. Everything is in character. Onto the next chapter!
Ardieffabout 3 years agoVery readable ;-) Another please - I am interested in how the main character develops.
Anonymousabout 3 years agoI think you really understand the concept of slow burner. I appreciate that Christopher and Alexandra are not on top of each other so quickly. Also, great writing, you have a good way with words. Looking forward to Chapter 7.
