~flashback~
It was a regular mid-summer day in L.A. The conference room at the main office of Grayson Publications was abuzz with the chatter. A round table discussion with the publishing firm's main personnel was in motion behind the doors in front of us.
I was standing with my back stuck against the wall opposite the door, waiting for my name to be called for the final presentation which would have decided my fate in the city's biggest publishing firm. If my pitch gets through, I would be promoted from an intern to junior copywriter.
I was excited and felt nauseous at the same time.
I looked to my right and glanced towards Max who was standing next to me staring at his own two feet. He had been weirdly quiet for the longest time now. Something wasn't right about it.
I nudged him with my elbow, "You okay, babe?" I asked.
Startled, he looked at me. "Um, yeah. Yeah," he gave me a half-hearted smile.
