Swoon

“There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you,” Violet says to me. “I hope this isn’t a weird time to bring this up . . . I know I’m not what you’ve had in mind during your job search, but would you consider working for me?” When my lips part in surprise, Violet elaborates. She says I’d be working for her, personally, not for Dax—at her house. She says she’s been wanting a full-time assistant/right-hand woman for some time now but hasn’t pulled the trigger yet because she’s been skittish about hiring a stranger to enter her family’s home and life. “But I trust you completely, Amy,” she says. “And I know you’d be perfect for the job I have in mind.” “What would the job be, exactly?” I ask. “You’d help me with my cancer charity some, but mostly, you’d help me launch my dream of designing wedding dresses. You’d also probably help get me organized, in general, and lend a hand with Jackson, as needed.” She looks at her son, asleep in my arms. “I can’t believe how quickly he took to you.” She looks at me hopefully, her blue eyes sparkling. “So, that’s my pitch. What do think?” I don’t hesitate. “I think yes. I accept your job offer.”

Amy got a PA job from Violet yippee!!
