Deloise returned to work the next day, happy to be done with Chicago and its shadows. A smile lit up her face as Doris shared the news.
“You got the job! I knew you could do it, I’ll get back to you on the details, and you have the rest of the day off.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Have a great day, take yourself out. You deserve it.” The call ended on a light note and Deloise couldn’t be happier.
She thought on how to spend the rest of her day, and turned up blank. With her roommate going about her day, there posed a threat of living an uneventful day if she returned home.
Just when she decided to go, her phone rang. It was Aaron.
“Hello boyfriend.” she teased, they were a lot more comfortable and understanding with each other.
“Hey girlfriend, what are you up to?” he replied, and she smiled,
“Nothing, just thinking on how to spend the rest of my day.”
“Hold that thought, where are you?”
“Outside.” she replied with her eyes narrowed.
