37: The Graduate
She walked through the front door and tossed her jacket onto the couch next to a black vinyl folder. She sat down beside the jacket, opened the folder and admired her diploma. The celebrating was over. She had a Bachelor's degree now.
She was a fully-fledged adult now. She had acquired a degree, an apartment, an automobile and an excellent credit rating. She had worked at part-time jobs, free-lanced, and interned at a multi-national corporation. She had played Titania in Midsummer Night's Dream and had lived in Paris for six months. In two more years she would have her Master's degree and an impressive resume.
She had fulfilled many dreams, but she had many dreams left. She felt breathless and hopeful.
She wasn't going to wait any longer. She had promised herself that the minute she had graduated, she would do this. She hoped for luck. She hoped for second chances.
She took two cups from the cupboard and placed them on the table. She started the coffee pot and sat down.
She took a deep breath and said, "I wish the Goblin King would come have coffee with me."
