I applied for everything that sounded reasonable. The internship at Supreme Architecture was a dream. It lasted six months, and after that, I could have my pick of jobs around the country if all went well.
I also had another reason for accepting this internship. I wanted to apply for the US Architecture Design Award. It was the most prestigious accolade in the industry—and as a plus, the first place came with a six-figure prize. My dream would be to win and pay off Aunt Dana’s mortgage.
But here was the crux: I needed to be employed to be eligible to apply.
I stopped in front of a juice bar, looking at all the options. I wasn't a smoothie kind of girl—cookies and ice cream were my jam—but I'd made enough bad choices recently. I was going to go for a healthy option right now.
I entered the store. Fortunately the line was short, and when I got to the counter, I asked the sales associate, "What is the healthiest option you have?"
"Our kale, spinach, and carrot smoothie."
I winced. "I'm sorry. That sounds way too healthy." I looked over the menu. "I'll have the carrot and apple juice one."
"Right away."
My phone vibrated again. Nina was probably sending me more encouragement. I gasped when I saw it was a message from Luke instead.
Luke: Megan, today was obviously a shock. How about meeting again tomorrow and discussing the job?
I kept my thumbs hovering over the phone, mulling over a reply in my mind. My pulse was thumping in my ears. It was hard to focus.
Megan: Okay. When should we meet?
The second I sent the message, I realized my palms were sweaty.
How on earth will I be able to work with him for six months?
