“Wish me luck,” I say as my fingers dangle in his.

“I'll do you one better than that.” Doug leans in, giving me a deep and passionate kiss. “You've got this, just be yourself,” he says.

I wish I was as confident in myself as he is in me. It's hard to see your own value. I've never been good at it. But Doug has always been good at making me feel worthy of what I deserve.

The butterflies I feel turn into a swarm as I stand outside the conference room door. Hesitantly, I knock softly on the open door as I peer inside.

Eileen lifts her head up from the long, mahogany table, and gives me the same smile she gave me last night. I didn't expect this. I guess inside I thought work Eileen would be ruthless as a bear, and stern as a queen ruling over her kingdom.

“Oh, you're here!” she calls out as her small, frail, seventy-year-old frame jumps up from her seat. She clasps her hands in front of her chest, her smile broadening. “I wasn't sure how you were going to feel about this. How do you feel, dear?”

“Honestly?”

“I wouldn't want to hear anything else.”

“Nervous but excited.”

“Those are the best feelings to have. Your nerves will keep you on your toes, but your excitement will keep you driven to excel and rise above.” She gives me another warm smile, then waves her arm toward the table. “Come take a seat, I don't want to leave you wondering what you're even interviewing for.”

“Yeah, I think that'd be good to know. I appreciate this though, I really do.”

She shakes her head as she cleans up the area in front of her. “Well, you made a great impression last night, and I just left thinking I had to have you on my team. But nothing is set in stone, even if I like you as a person. I still need to make sure you'll be a good fit.”

“Of course, I'd expect nothing less.”

“Good, let's get started, shall we?”
