She was back in her apartment and crashed on the couch. Suddenly, she heard three knocks.
"Yes, Shel-. What are you guys all doing here?"
"Well, were here to invite you to get some ice-cream."
"Wait, what? Sheldon, you hate ice-cream and spontaneous trips?"
"Yes, I do with a passion. But you love it. So me, Raj and Howard we are all gonna go get ice-cream."
She smiled at them and grabbed her purse.
It had taken Raj, Howard, and Sheldon almost an hour to convince her to set up an appointment with the literary agent. She was ready. She called the agency it was early in the morning there wouldn't be any other callers.
"Hello. This is Angela. You have reached Starlight Industries. How may I be of assistance?"
"Hi, Angela!"
"Oh, sorry, Penny dear but Eric is out again."
"I actually want to speak to Marisol Rivas. The new literary agent."
"You want to speak to the new lit agent?". Penny could hear the same tone of disbelief in Angela present in Leonard's voice. Despite that tone, she still wanted to be polite, so she said yes.
"Okay… Hold on a second, and I'll pass you along."
"Thank you, sweetie." She wanted to hang up. But before she could, she heard Marisol's voice.
"Hi! Penny. I am so glad you called! I was about to chase you down."
"Hi, Marisol. I was wondering if we could meet to you know talk about my writing? Or if you aren't interested any longer than that's totally fine. Sorry to bother you."
"Of course, I'm interested! Let's see can we meet up tomorrow at 3pm?"
"Yes, of course."
"So bring your portfolio. If you want me to take a look at a novel then maybe just the first three chapters and if its a few poems than maybe bring about 15 of them? Does that sound okay?"
"Okay, I'll bring my portfolio. I look forward to meeting with you tomorrow."
"Likewise. And Penny before I let you go just remember that you have a natural gift".
