“It’s… it’s an offer. From a major fashion company. They want to work with me.”
I took the letter from her, reading it over quickly, my heart racing as I absorbed the words. It was an official offer for a paid internship at one of the most renowned fashion houses in the city—an opportunity that could skyrocket her career to new heights. It was everything she had dreamed of.
“Oh my God, Lily,” I breathed, my voice shaking. “This is incredible. This is everything you’ve worked for.”
Her eyes were wide with disbelief. “I never thought this would happen. I’ve only just started, and they want to work with me.”
I pulled her into a tight hug, my heart full. “You deserve this, every bit of it. You’ve earned it. This is your time.”
For a moment, we just stood there, embracing each other in the quiet of the evening, the weight of the moment sinking in. It was a milestone in her journey, and I knew it was just the beginning.
