10:30 am.
Think Ella. Think. Where did you leave behind your book? Last time I remember having it was in the coffee shop when Harry and I went to breakfast yesterday. He wouldn't have let me left it there. Just ask him Ella. Where did you leave the book?

" Harry" I called out as I opened the door to my room.

" Yes?" I heard his voice faintly. I heard footsteps and before I knew he was outside my door.

" Did you see where I left my book?" I asked. He could tell I was distressed.

" This isn't about the book, is it?" He asked me. " I saw it downstairs on the kitchen table."

" Thanks," I replied. " I'm just nervous to have the interview with Dr. Karlis. This is a really big deal. His research lab is working on some ground breaking stuff."

" Ella breathe," Harry said slightly laughing. " You'll get the intern position. Don't worry. You'll be great and he'll love you."

" You know just what to say," I replied with a sigh of relieve. I tried breathing normally trying to relax.

"I talked to your parents and they really want us to attend this dinner with them. It's next week. I told them yes. I'm really grateful to your family. You guys have brought me in and letting me stay in your house for the summers before we graduate in a few years," Harry said.

" You know I'd do anything for you. Plus my parents like you. They think your great," I replied.

" So I'll drop you off at your interview and then we go out to celebrate?" Harry asked.

I nodded yes.

" Harry how do I look? Do I look professional?" I asked him as I looked at myself in the mirror trying to scan the outfit myself.

" You look beautiful,"Harry replied. I slightly blushed and turned around so he wouldn't see.

" Thanks," I replied.

11:15 am.

Harry and I quickly ate breakfast. He had lucky charms while I ate blueberry pancakes. We had to be out of the house by 11:25 am so that I could get to my interview with ten minutes to spare.

We got to the research facility. Before I got out of the car, Harry gave me a pep talk.

" You'll do fine. You got this. You just have to show them how wonderful you are," Harry said as his hand moved to find mine. He gently squeezed my hand as if to say 'I'm here for you'. I smiled and got out of the car.

I headed in nervous. Ella breathe everything will be just fine. Breathe.

12:45 pm.
When I saw Harry waiting for me, I tried to keep the excitement hidden.

" How did it go?" He asked nervously.

I paused and pretended to be sad and disappointed, " He said he was sorry that he OFFERED me the research position!!!!"

Harry was so happy that he hugged me and lifted me up.

"I'm sorry," he said as he slowly put me down. " I am just so happy for you."
