We return to our van outside his office, ignoring the questions the media are shouting, and Sheryl asks me to sit beside her. Unexpectedly, she wraps herself around me and gives me a deep, long hug. “That was amazing, Sarah. I don’t know how you pulled it off, but it was phenomenal.” I’m trying not to blush. “It was a team effort. Really, everyone here in this van, it couldn’t have happened without them.” Her tone changes. “Learn how to take a compliment,” she snaps. “This was all you and it was wonderful.” I feel like I’m being told off.
