Years of hard work had culminated in this moment. The champagne corks popped, and laughter filled the room. The phone in his pocket vibrated. He pulled it out, ready to make a congratulatory call. The message read: “Finally got my dream job! Feel like I'm on top of the world. - Sarah.” The number was unknown. He shook his head, tucked his phone away, and raised his glass.
