I lie in bed and assess the damage done on the first day of an internship.

One: I left the property with Esme after Frye told me that was against the rules.

Two: Esme broke the law by driving a car without a license.

Three: We missed dinner.

Four: She ate tons of sugar, which is no doubt objectionable to the nutritionist.

Five: She fucking stole a car — which nobody needs to know about because I stupidly forgot to get the keys back from her.

Six: She got a tattoo. While that was not expressed as against the rules, I’m pretty sure Frye is gonna freak the fuck out on that one.

I’m toast.

“Way to go, Briar. You are officially the worst intern in the history of interns.”

Let’s face it. Esme doesn’t need an intern. She needs a no-nonsense Victorian governess. That is not what I signed up for.

I thought I could pivot. I thought I could handle any curveballs thrown my way. I know who I am. I’m a badass.

Despite everything that happened tonight, I smile to myself as I take in my surroundings. Look at me. I’m still here. I got to meet Esme Fucking Bryant. I toured the castle. I am sleeping in a bed that no one has slept in in probably decades. What a story I’ll have to tell my suite mates when I go back to college!

My phone pings, startling me out of the staring contest I’m currently having with the canopy hanging over me.

Maybe that’s one of my suite mates now.

Hey, you didn’t let me know if you made it home safely.
