Debbie
I walked down the long hallway toward Black’s office. Every step I took felt different.
Usually, I walked this floor like I was trying to disappear. I used to keep my head down and pray he wouldn't notice any error as I moved.
But today, I wasn't. I seemed to be walking with a kind of pride I didn’t know where it was coming from.
I reached the large doors and didn't knock. I just pushed them open and walked in.
Black was sitting behind his desk, but he wasn't working. He was staring at the door, possibly waiting for me.
I saw the way his jaw actually dropped when his eyes caught my sight.
His eyes traveled from my face down to… everywhere his eyes wanted to roam.
"Debbie," he breathed, standing up slowly.
"You... you look incredible."
I didn't smile.
