I couldn’t help but tear up.
“It was an honor, sir. But if you want to know how I handle pressure, you can watch me at work.”
My boss smiled. “I already have.”
Then he offered his hand. “No more surprise tests.”
I shook it. “Good. Because I still haven’t figured out how to get Georgia the moon.”
He laughed.
I couldn’t help but tear up.

Six months later, I completed my training and earned the management position.
Mom cried when I told her I passed the interview!
Janelle immediately asked whether we could finally replace our washing machine.
“Yes,” I said.
She raised both arms. “BEST PROM EVER!”
I completed my training.

Georgia and I stayed friends.
When the new location opened, she gave me a framed prom photo.
It showed me attempting that terrible dance move while she laughed beside me.
