From the moment the recruiter called, David felt a surge of pure, unadulterated pep. He felt his heart race; the interview was set. He'd been hoping for this opportunity, and now it was within his grasp. He and Ben, his closest friend, both had applied.

He ran to the window, throwing it open to let in the fresh air. He took a deep breath, and he felt like he could shout from the rooftops. This was his time, his moment to prove himself.

He grabbed his phone, ready to share the news. He wanted to tell everyone. He had a feeling about this, a strong premonition that everything was going to be alright. He smiled with a big grin.
