Chapter Two

Mindy woke up with Snowball still snuggled under her neck. She hated to move her, but she knew she had to start her day. She carried the kitten into the kitchen and placed her next to her food bowl. She sat down at the dining room table and opened up her laptop. She always started off excited as she opened her e-mail. She was still hoping that one of the galleries she sent her resume to would answer.

As she checked for e-mails, she felt her heart sink into her chest. She felt like maybe she had set her reach too far. Possibly the only job that her art degree could snag her was a management position at the local theater. She decided to not let it get to her, not today. She decided to spend the day with her parents and then visit the bar Veronica told her about and possibly get a job instead.

When she pulled into her parents' drive, she felt her eyes begin to well up with tears. She had missed her parents, even if she wasn’t like admitting it. As she walked into her childhood home she heard her mother wrestling with pans in the kitchen.

“Seriously, a turkey mom?” Mindy joked as she smiled at the woman who never knew when to sit down and relax.

“Oh Mindy!” Her mother squealed and wrapped her arms around her neck.

“Ok, ok, let me breathe.” Mindy pulled her mother off her neck.

“It’s cheaper to make the whole turkey baby,” her mother answered in regards to her smart remark.

Mindy laughed and sat down in the chair to watch her mother finish dressing the turkey. Her parents were always very thrifty, but they by no means needed to save money by cooking an entire turkey in the middle of June.

“So, what are your plans for the day?” her mother asked.

“I'm going to get a job, but I just stopped by to say hello first,” Mindy said.

“Wow, you don’t waste any time do you?Just like your father.” Her mother gazed at her daughter with a smile. “Where are you thinking about applying?”

“My neighbor said she needs help where she works,” Mindy told her.

She knew that the idea of working in a bar would upset her mother, so she tried her best to avoid the topic.

“That’s nice. In an office?” her mother asked.

Mindy knew that many more questions would lead to her mother finding out the truth, so she stood up and gave her a hug. “I gotta go, but I'll let you know,” she said as she kissed her mother on the cheek and walked towards the front door.

Mindy followed the directions that Veronica had given her and ended up in a parking lot with a small brown building. The sign said “Top Gun”, so she must be in the right spot. She felt her throat tighten as she sat in her car watching the front door. She wanted to see what type of people were inside first and hoped someone would come in or out before she had to make her way inside.
