Chapter 70: Things are looking up

Cassie danced around the kitchen as she helped get the table ready while Stephanie prepared their late-night dinner. It was after nine o'clock, but after being away from home for so long, she was looking forward to sharing a meal with her stepmother.

She hummed to herself as she placed plates, utensils, and napkins on the table. She still couldn't believe it! She had an interview the very next day at the Macconwood-Nighthawk Teen Outreach Center!

After her near-miss at the Java Haus and the consequential stitches, almost-date, and confrontation with the nurse from hell, the past twenty-four hours had turned out to be good! Surprise!

Sure, she still had a little trouble deciphering through it all, but she had a direction now and that left her feeling overjoyed. One thing she absolutely decided on was that Dr. David Evangelos was totally out of her league.
