One month later...
With my hair tied back in a neat bun, I enter the building with a newfound confidence. It's been a hard year but I am finally doing something for myself and I have high hopes for my future. Stopping at the front desk, I smile at the woman who sits behind the desk in her uniform. "Hi, I'm here to see John and Alizabeth."
She glances at her computer. "They're available. Just head down that hall. It's the first door on the right."
"Thank you," I smile.
"You're welcome."
Walking down the hallway to their shared office, I knock in the open door before stepping inside. "Good morning."
"Good morning," Alizabeth responds with a bright smile. "How are you today?"
"I'm okay. How are you?"
"I'm wonderful," she says, reaching in her drawer for a small plastic cup with a lid.
