An intern.

If I got the job.

I applied as an intern.

That was the only spot they had available. For me, anyway. Not too surprising, given that I had next to zero experience—I knew how to use a computer, is that good enough? No—and needed a job—desperation doesn't suit me well.

"Would you still love me if I was an intern, Yanks?"

Meow.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," I said. "Enjoy your dinner. I'm going out tonight. The boys and I are ready to hit the town." I popped my collar, striking a pose that I thought made me look quite rakish. "How do I look?"

Munch. Crunch. Pause. Crunchcrunch. Munch.

"Stunning as always? My, my, you are too kind," I responded, pretending to bow, extending my hand outwards with an extravagant flourish.

Things were going to get better.

They had to.

Running a hand through my unruly waves, I shot myself a goofy looking glance in the mirror—tongue waggling, eyebrows arched every which way—before grabbing the keys.

Perfect.

"Later, Yanks. Don't stay up too late."
