Helen stood by the main door watching as her friends safely drove off before closing the door so no one could enter. Finally, the day she had been planning for more than a year had come and gone. It was strange how much time and effort you invest in something only for it to pass in the blink of an eye. Countless worrying all for one day to be over so quickly.
The waiters were currently cleaning off the tables ahead of their shift for tomorrow while the chefs talked about the best and least liked dishes.
Helen felt like a child who received a treat for being good. There was no greater feeling than investing in a dream and watching it blossom right before your eyes. It was a small start to her big plans but it was a good beginning. She never believed as a child she would be able to generate money from her own business but instead would be slaving away working for someone else.
