Everything has changed these last fewwhatever I wanted—spa treat for it all with Daddy’s credit card, all without a care in the world Then e As in, I told theot so mad, he cut me off completely—and kicked me out of their house

Now I’ nanny This is laughable A joke That ot me this interview is unbelievable Does Gabe really think I’ like this? I’ll probably drop the toddler on his head and his mama will fire me on the spot, then call the police and have me arrested for child abuse

I part my lips, ready to tell her I’m totally not qualified and she should probably consider soain

“This is slightly e, I need someone to—help me” She tips her head toward me, her expression serious “Not just with the kids, but with life The kids keep me so busy, and so does my husband, and I can’t stay focused half the tianized”

“I could probably do that,” I ether I can feel sweat start to form on the back of my neck, my entire body stiff with nerves and…anticipation? Maybe I can help her if I don’t need to chase after children all the time

“Oh, that is exactly what I needed to hear I’m a frantic mess most of the time lately, and it stresses et stressed out, and then no one’s happy” She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly “I’d need you to be discreet, though Our private life is exactly that Private I’d need you to sign a non-disclosure agree I hope that’s okay with you”

She’s talking like I already have the job I can’t be that lucky “I don’t mind I’m here for you if you hire me Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it I just—I really need this job”

“Well, I really need someone to help me, so it looks like you and I could help each other” Her sentle “Trust me, most of the time I feel like I’m a total sham So whatever you can do to make my life easier, I’m all for it”

My mouth drops open She really believes she’s a total sham? She’s so poised, so calm and self-possessed “Women all over the country admire you You have it all A handsoeous house”

I look around, taking in the roo in I assume it’s her office, and it’s immaculate White and airy, it’s my dream office come to life, not that I even realized I wanted a ho I’m only nineteen There are photos on every available flat surface featuring her children and husband, not that I can blame her If I were ht Ever He’s painfully handsome
