CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Rise from the Ashes

The call came in a week later while she sipped coffee and stared at the paper in front of her. She had an interview. An interview! She hung up and immediately called Rachel, who was in class but answered the phone anyway.

“You okay?” she answered softly.

“I GOT AN INTERVIEW!” Emery screamed into the phone.

Rachel burst out giggling. Emery heard some scrambling around and a door close. “That’s so fantastic. When is it?”

“TOMORROW!”

“Why are you still yelling?” Rachel asked, still laughing.

“I don’t know.” Emery laughed. Hope was struggling to bubble up to the surface, but Emery was denying its entry. “I’m just so…”

“Excited, Em, it’s called being excited.”

“I need to go buy a suit.”

“Well, do it. Go see if they have one you like at J. Crew or Ann Taylor. You can just buy one real quick and go back to get other stuff later. When you get the job, I’ll come down and we’ll go shop for official work clothes. It’s about your birthday anyway, so I’ll be heading that way soon. Derrick told me you’re going to be twenty-two on this birthday.”

“Yeah, he’s saving my ass again.” She audibly yawned into the phone.

“Sorry if I’m boring you, but you called me, remember?”

“No, I just need something to do and I was actually excited for a minute. I’m going insane just staying home. I’m going to get a suit now,” Emery said, her voice giddy.

“Derrick’s awesome, I’ve been telling you,” Rachel said. “I wonder if you’re going to have to wear a suit every day.”

“Don’t you think we’re getting ahead of ourselves?” Emery smiled at Rachel’s enthusiasm. “Are you in class?”

“Oh, I stepped out.”

“I’ll let you go. Call me later. I’m—what did you say it was again?” Emery laughed. “Excited?”

“Yep,” Rachel responded. “And I’m fucking excited for you. Break a leg.”

Emery smiled as she disconnected the call, grabbing a pen to write today’s letter to Noah.
