The email arrived late, confirming the job offer. He stared at the screen, the words blurring. He'd gotten it. He'd *gotten it*. Then he thought of her.

He knew she had been dreaming of this position. He remembered the long nights of studying together, the shared anxieties, the secret hopes. Now, he was the one who got it.

He pictured her face, her eyes, her lips. It was almost unbearable, this tide of feeling that threatened to wash over him.
