I rip open the envelope, Ticket sitting by my side, watching me. It’s as if he senses he was being interviewed too. ‘Have we got the job?’ he’s asking me with those deep brown eyes of his. The moment I read the word, ‘Unfortunately,’ my heart sinks. ‘I’m sorry,’ I tell Ticket as he places a paw on my knee. ‘They say I wasn’t experienced enough. But tell me, how do I get experience if I’m not given the chance?’

Charlie, Ticket and I go out that night to our local Italian. Charlie reassures me that the right job is out there, waiting for me.

‘It’s hiding very well.’

‘If something’s too easy, Cass, it’s never worth it.’

‘Easy would be great. I’m tired,’ I tell him, before we argue about who’s going to pay the bill.

‘Something will come up,’ he insists. In so many ways his optimism reminds me of Jamie.

My mobile vibrates. It’s Frankie. Just as I launch into why I didn’t get the job this time, she stops me. ‘What are you doing this Thursday?’

That’s three days’ time.

‘Nothing. Why?’

‘Back Up needs a Course Coordinator from the beginning of September.’
