I heard your car pull into the driveway, so I went out to meet you in the front yard. You were gathering your things and I made it to the car in time to open the car door to let you out. You stepped out gracefully, in spite of the tight, knee length skirt.
Your face was blank. A completely unreadable mask. I cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Well?”
Suddenly your face broke into a huge smile. “I got the job!” You squealed as you threw your arms around me.
Curmudgeon as I am, I couldn’t help but smile too. “Of course you did, they’d be idiots not to hire you.”
You leaned back to look me in the eye, “Not only that! They offered me 10% more than what I was going to ask for!”
I held your face in my hands. “That’s amazing. I’m so proud of you.”
You blushed a little as you said, “Thank you.”
I swiped a strand of hair out of your face and cupped your cheek with my hand. “What are you?” I asked.
