Liam Hudson, my new boss. The first time our paths crossed was at a job fair. My university held them quarterly, to help seniors get a head start in the workforce. He was sitting behind a table with other men, on his phone. As if he'd rather be anywhere else than behind the booth. He had a powerful air surrounding him. I tried not to notice his beautiful face, I was there for one reason only. The men sitting next to him were talking to eager college students, thinking they were going to be the next employee of Evolve Technology. I was one of those eager college students. My five year planned started with me landing any job I could get with Evolve Technology. The dream was to get into software development but I was desperate for anything they'd give me. I would get a job. Not in software development though, no it would be as an assistant- Liam's assistant. Soon, I'd learn the company policies and Liam's rules. I would follow them all, well at least that was my intention.

ONC 2024: In college, it was a case of wrong place/wrong time. Eight years later, they have a second chance. But will they take the leap? ___ Prompt 14: "My muse, believe me, waiting for you has been a form of freedom." ___ Excerpt: "Don't look back." Ian stares at me through the screen with his dark, intense gaze. "Don't long for all the things that might have been. Don't chastise yourself for the decisions you've made." For a moment, his words render me silent. "Appreciate all those little indentations that make you who you are," he says with a tender expression. "And remember your superpower." "What superpower?" "Let yourself dream again." A tender smile crosses his features. "Focus that intense drive of yours on the future like you used to do." He's right. For so long, I've been living in survival mode. One foot in front of the other. Stuck in this nightmare, I haven't been able to see any other way forward. Until now. "You're free now," he says, "to make better choices that will make you truly happy." For a moment, I let my mind take me wherever it wants to go. Right now? It wants to be in Boston, beside him. But can I leave everything behind?
