Chapter 7

Getting things wrapped up and in order in time for the retreat was exhausting. I had arrived back in California on Sunday night and had to get up early to go to work the very next morning. It wasn't necessarily an ideal situation, but then again, life had never really been an ideal situation for me.

Throughout the week, various important-looking people came in and out of Miss Rose's office, I barely even saw her one on one. However, I knew she would be unavoidable once the weekend drew by and I was excited but extremely anxious at the same time.

"Muna."

I suddenly looked up from my computer screen to see Miss Rose standing at her door.

"I hope everything is in order for the retreat"

She was dressed in a denim suit, she had taken off her blazer revealing a short sleeved button up shirt, her tattoos were on full display.

I snatched my eyes away from her arms to meet Miss Rose's intense eyes, "yes."
