Can love still stay the same after 7 years apart or does all that once was become lost in time.
Willow Gillian was a girl from a small-town called Port Angels in Washington, who managed to land herself a paid internship with a high-end advertising...

"Hey Mel, I'm so sorry I'm running late the electric in my apartment tripped again" I say quite loudly down the phone as I'm walking rather fast down the busy New York City streets "Hunny don't you dare worry Mr H will understand, he always does." I can hear her walm calming smile through the phone, I honestly have the greatest job in the world. "I should only be about 10 minutes then I'll come straight to your desk." I blurt out trying to be louder that the moving cars. "It's okay! Honestly calm down and I'll see you in a second." I end the call and put my phone in my bag as I stand on the curb getting ready to cross the road which is the final obstical in my journey to work.
Suddenly my phone starts to vibrate again and I go fidling through my bag for it but intsead of it being a work call it was my Aunt Kenna, I wonder why she's calling me at this time it's 8:56 in the morning she only usually calls me after work. I answer it "Hey Aunt Kenna, what's up? Everything good at home?" I wait for her reply "Ya swwetie everythings all good here I just wanted to tell you personally I'm getting married" I just stand there in pure shock "and it's in 3 weeks". Now I honestly have no idea what to say. "Aunt Kenna, wow, I mean I have no idea what to say other than I'm really sorry I can't be there" she shoots back at me sooner than I expected and not at all with what I expected her to say. "When actually I'm still good friend with your old art teacher who got in touch with Mr H for me and has said you can have 4 weeks off for the wedding so you leave for Washington in a week and a half, no ifs, no buts your coming! I'll send you the details and the flights I've ALREADY booked for you so I'm going to go before you can complain so I love you. Goodbye. See ya soon!" and before I could even get a word in to say no, she'd hung up and by the time I actually look at my phone after recovering from that shock horror I see a text from my mom saying:
Sorry Wil but you've got to come home for this one. I love ya and I'll meet ya at the airport next Friday. Bye Sweetie!!
I look down in defeat knowing this time I have to go home and there is no possible way that I'm going to get out of it. Then after all of this I know need to go into work, I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this.
I finally get myself into the office building I work in and walk past the security desk. "Mornin Miss Wil" I smile and wave "Morning Terry, hope all the family's good" he smiles back at my response for acknowledging his wife and twin daughters like I always do and have done since I started working here and got to know most if not all of the staff I encounter. "Wonderful as always Miss Wil" I nod to him and smile one last time before I head on my way into the elevator and upto the 11th floor where my office is located.
I step out of the elevator and onto the 11th floor as I have done almost everyday for the last seven years now. As I walk arounf the main space desks I hear everyone chatting and laughing away getting on with there everyday life mingling and just being happy and social with one another as this company has always been long before I even joined. I continue to walk until I am stoped in my path by my design assistant / close friend Kingsleigh who's face is curently burried under a pile of documents and files, most likely for me to approve or edit in order to make sell able or presentable for our buyers. "So sorry Wil but I can't carry all these and I know your on your was to Miss Quinn like always but could you help me with this first" I smile and look at her with a calming look that people once gave me when I was still in my first years here. As quick as my body can possibly move my arms grab half of the work load from her "Kin what have I told you about asking for help, you don't say sorry for it! It's ok to ask when you're struggling. So is this all for me or where else does it need to go?" She smiles in relief at me and begins to get a much better grip on her stack now I have reduced it. "Well most of it's for you however there is still a couple of accounting files here for Car which I think are in your pile." I smile and nod at here as we make small talk continuing the path to my open office/desk together.
A few hours have past and it's nearly time for me to go home, I'm finishing up the last project I'm going to do today then I hear a nock at my glass and pock my head up to see Mr H, I smile and get up to great him and he comes to sit in the chair oposite mine across from my desk. He seems to struggle a little to get in the right position to site in the chaor so I gently hold his one arm that he isn't holding his cain in to lower him down before I go to sit in my own chair. "Thank you Miss Willow dear, you see I'm not as young as I once was" he smiles and chuckles to himself and I swiftly reply with "well from what I can see you're still managing to run this ship just fine". "Well my dear that is only due to my brilliant work force." I smile at his comment knowing I'm still doing a good job here. "Thank you Mr H, but is there anything particular you wanted to talk about or is it just a chat?" I question him so I know the situation at hand. "Well actually we have decided to open up a new office in Washington and I need a head of designs, Miss Carter has already accepted the poistion as head of sales and buisness and I know you two work exceptionally well together so I wanted to see how you would feel about heading there to oversee everything for me and to head up the design team there?" I look at Mr H in pure shoke as yes this is a brilliant oportunity however it's gonna be close to home, I don't know if I can do that, plus I've made a home for myself here. "Can I have a think about it because it's a really big decision and I don't want to make the wrong one" I ask. "Of course that is totally fine, if you don't want the job we could find someone else no problem and you'll always have a job with us here but I will need an answer within the next month because if you don't want the position then we need to start advirtising for other candidates but you wouldn't be moving for about 6 months if you did and then we'd also need to advirtise your position" he gives me his understanding look that he always gives anyone, he really is the best boss ever. He stands up and I walk him to the glass wall which seperates my desk from the others and say our goodbyes and he walks off towards his office. Then I see Carter walking towards me from the other direction.
"Has he offered it you yet?" She questions me with a gigantic grin on her face. I shhh her and ring her into my office. "Yes he has but I don't know if I'm going to take it to be honest Car." She looks at me like I'm mad "Are you absolutely bloody fucking bonkers!! The greatest boss in this entire world has just offered you pasically co-VP one of his brand new offices at the age of twenty fucking five and you don't know if you're gonna take it? You could be one of the youngest head of designs that the marketing world has ever seen, why would you not want to take it?" I look at her with a little regret then say "It's in Washington....remember?" It's at that point she settles down into the other chair in the room and we start to talk about what to do about this situation, at the end of the day I need to know more information as to where it is in Washington before I can make any major decisions. I look at the time and see it's 5:30pm so I shew Car out of my office and get ready to leave thinking about all the crazyy things that have happened today and what I was going to do about it.
