I want that one of them god, Alice thought to herself, please say that he is NOT going to finish that sentencewill join you. Damn, he finished it.

Alice had practically wilted into the chair that was offered to her. It wasn’t that she was incapable of doing it, she simply didn’t want to. “Daniel Restovitz” her thought had drifted away when she realized that her boss had continued their conversation without noticing that she wasn’t listening. “Ha?” she asked in her usual subtle way. “Daniel Restovitz” he repeated the name “straight ‘A’ student, the pride of Texas” great absolutely gre-at Alice thought to herself, it’s just typical that I’ll get the Jewish nerd from the south, some kind of a Jewish cowboy geek. I’ll bet he already handed out all the normal interns to the people who werent late today. “ok, ok, so when are we going to meet, when do you want us to start?” Alice was starting to accept the news
“Right now” her boss’s words took her by surprise, Mr. Egret called his secretary on the intercom, and a few second later Alice heard the door open, she turn around

If when she heard the news she looked like she had completely wilted, now it was like she reached a full blossom, her face had lightened and her eyes had a gazing look in them. At the door stood a young woman, soft dark curls surround her face, big black eyes, darker than anyone Alice had ever seen, eyes with such darkness that someone could imply that she has a gipsy origin in her family. She had a hint of dimple in her chin, right above the cutest tiny scar that was at the bottom of her chin.

Alice just sat there, staring at the beautiful woman at the door, when she suddenly saw Mr. Egret standing next to her, motioning her to stand up and introduce herself to the young woman. “Alice meet Danielle, Danielle Restovitz this is Alice Peiszecki” it took Alice a few second to realize that Danielle’s hand was reached out in order for Alice to shake it, she reached out her hand mechanically, couldn’t seem to look away from those big dark eyes. “Nice to meet you Alice, Mr. Egret was really praising your work, I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from you”. The girl was still shaking Alice’s hand while speaking. To Alice her voice sounded like church bells, although she never actually went to church or eve heard church bells, she figured that this is how it must sound. Alice noticed a weakening in their shake and realized that Danielle was starting to draw back her hand, Alice’s face was a little flustered and she smiled shyly as she drew back her own hand. “Sorry hmm” Alice had found out that it was hard for her to think clearly, finally she said “It is hmm nice to meet you too”

‘Brilliant Alice’, she thought to herself, ‘just brilliant. Now she knows why you got your seniority, because you are so eloquent’. Even in her thought Alice couldn’t be anything but cynical.
“Great, so now that we all know each other, Alice I think that you should take Danielle on a tour around the office and start explaining her what we do around here”. Danielle was starting to exit the office. Alice was right behind her when Mr. Egret grabbed her arm and said gently but firmly “You do remember the office policy about dating interns?” Alice had swallowed her slobber and slowly nodded her hand.
When they were both out side the door, Danielle turn to Alice and said “I’m really looking forward to working with you, I’ve heard that the first year of the every intern is very difficult and intensive, and I’m really glad that it’s with you”
Alice smiled to Danielle, a smile that reveals nothing from what was really going on in her mind. Danielle was standing quietly, waiting for Alice to start their tour while all Alice could think about was ‘O dear good, this is going to be a REALLY long year’
