"You got this," David murmured to himself, watching the sunrise paint the sky. The anticipation of the interview didn't gnaw at him. He knew he was prepared. The clarity of his skills brought an inner peace.

He met Emily, his friend, in the lobby. She looked deflated. He knew the feeling. They had both wanted this job. He just felt an odd sense of comfort, and smiled at her. He felt a deep sense of compassion for his friend's anxiety.

Leaving the building, David felt a calm certainty settle over him. He felt nothing but gratitude for the experience, the opportunity to showcase his talent. The outcome of the interview, whatever it may be, was almost irrelevant.
