Several of the shops offered free Wi-Fi so college kids would spend more time there. Even now in the summer, it was pretty busy in the area, as they served the office crowd in several buildings around the neighborhood.
She crossed to the side with more restaurants and noticed two ‘We’re Hiring’ signs in their windows. Her pulse quickened with excitement. Maybe she had a chance. She pulled on the first door, but it was locked. She took the phone number down. She would call later from home. The second restaurant had a closed sign on the door, so she didn’t bother trying it. As she stopped to take the phone number down, a man in a suit walked up beside her.
“Hello. Are you looking for work? I noticed you checking the store sign.”
“Um, yes,” she answered with some hesitation.
“Forgive me. I guess it must feel weird being approached by a complete stranger on the street like this. I’m the owner of Rudolfo’s. I’m opening up early today to interview a few people for the vacancies.”
“Oh! Hello,” she answered, looking over at him as he unlocked the front door. “Well, I’m Meaghan. I would love the chance to do an interview, if you have extra time. Do you mind if I ask what openings you have?”
“Right now we need two waitresses, a sous chef and a hostess to greet our patrons. Come on in. I’ve got a half hour before the first candidate arrives.”
“Sure. Thanks for the opportunity.”
She smiled and straightened up as she walked in after him. She reached into her purse for a copy of her resume in the folder she had brought along. Maybe things were looking up, just like Chase and Jennifer said.
Chapter 2
Meaghan stepped into their apartment later that day. She was alone. Chase was still at his new job at the auto shop. She kicked her shoes off, leaving them beside the door, before putting her purse, phone and keys down to get a glass of water. She unbuttoned her new work shirt, undressing as she headed into the bathroom.
She showered and changed into pajamas. Her first shift had only been two hours that afternoon; a short training and orientation session. The man she met ended up offering her the hostess job, but told her she would have to cover for the waitresses if any of them couldn’t make it in on a given night.
She was happy to have found work, especially at an upscale restaurant. She didn’t care she would have to do waitressing from time to time. The staff seemed nice enough, and the clientele looked to be rather high-class. Now that they were both employed, it felt like they had made progress.
Stepping back into the living room, she admired their new space. There was a wonderful view of the park in Hillcrest from their window. On this pleasant evening, green foliage swayed in the warm breeze. Parents and their children walked and played in the picturesque scene. Traffic slid by, and the sun had begun to set.
She glanced in the fridge, wondering what they should have for dinner. They’ had gone shopping a few days ago, but she didn’t feel much like cooking. She relaxed on the sofa, relieved. Everything was working out better than she had expected. And they were incredibly happy together.
She turned on the television and lowered the volume, leaving it on some comedy program. She needed to stop overthinking things for the fall, but knew there were a few more pressing items to resolve, and those weren’t anywhere near as easy as she had thought.
The only elephant in the room was the issue of when and how Chase would face his mother. It had been four days, and although he had started his job, he had not made any attempt to meet her. He said he needed time. In reality, she knew it was his fear, pure and simple.
Finally, he arrived home, bike helmet in one hand, shutting the door slowly behind him. He appeared tired, but seemed in good spirits. By the look on his face, she could tell he still hadn’t gone to see his mother.
“Hi,” he said, slumping against the
