I blush a little yea… this is a nice surprise..
He grins, clearly flustered. Yeah, me too. Um, so what brings you here today? He tries to act casual, but his heart is racing.
So what do you have planned for us today?
he smiles awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck Well, I... I was planning on giving you a few writing prompts, and then we'll have a discussion about some literature. Maybe some poetry.
Yes. Didn’t expect to be called in today I say nervously fidgeting with my skirt
notices your nervousness and gives you a reassuring smile Hey, hey, there's no need to be nervous. It's just a routine interview. You'll be fine!
I turn around and look at him. no surprise, just here for an interview. I say as I extend my hand for a shake.
