New City, New Love (Sonnett/Riley)

AN: Sorry, it's not up to my usual standard, kinda lost inspiration halfway through. 

Emily Sonnett had worked as the Assistant Social Media Director in the Portland branch of the Thorn Corporation for several years now and with no signs of a promotion in sight, she decided it was time to look elsewhere. It also didn't help her situation that her former girlfriend Lindsey, worked at the same company and she was forced to see the woman that she once considered to be the love of her life, on an almost daily basis.

Emily spent several months looking for and applying for positions all over the United States, she was hoping to move closer to Georgia, where her family was. She even ended up going to a few interviews and doing a few telephone calls but had no luck in securing a new position.

A longtime friend of hers, Alex Morgan suggested that there may be an opening coming up with the Pride Foundation situated in Orlando, Florida. After searching through the website, and reading every article she could find on the company, she spent hours typing out and then retyping out the perfect cover letter and updating her resume to ensure everything was perfect before sending it on to the Foundation, requesting an interview.

Weeks passed and Emily hadn't heard anything in regards to her application, she had all but given up hope.

One morning as she was reviewing her personal emails over her morning coffee, she noticed that she had finally received a response from the Pride Foundation and they requested that she call in at the listed time, for a phone interview regarding a position.

She confirmed the time and date of the call and then played a waiting game for the next two days.

Sitting in her office, she waited until two minutes before she was scheduled to call and then hit the button on her phone to put the call through.

An hour later, after completing her interview with Marc Skinner, she was informed that the position was hers and requested to start in two weeks time. After thanking Mr Skinner for his time and the opportunity, Emily went about making preparations to move across the country, she gave in her two weeks notice and then started packing up all her worldly goods.

12 days later, she arrived in Orlando and was thankfully able to secure an apartment with Alex's help. With the remainder of her belongings not scheduled to arrive for another day, Emily was thankful that her friend had gone ahead and set up an air mattress in the bedroom for her to sleep on.

The next two days were then spent setting up her apartment and stocking up her fridge and cupboards, with a bit of exploring also taking place.

Finally, the day came where she was to start her new job, she was so excited she barely slept and was fairly certain that she had dark circles under her eyes as she made her initial work inside the Foundation.

After checking in with security and being issued a pass, Emily was shown to her new office. As she looked out the window, her thoughts were interrupted by someone behind her coughing. She quickly turned around.

"Good morning, Emily, and welcome to the Pride Foundation."

Emily walked over and put her hand out, "Good morning and thank you. Sorry, I didn't catch your name."

He laughs, "My name is Marc Skinner, we spoke on the phone."

"Oh, right, sorry, I should have recognized your voice."

"It's quite alright. I understand that you know Alex?"

Emily smiles and nods, "Yes, we actually worked together for a time before she relocated to Florida and have remained friends."
