Connor was in the best mood that he'd been in all year as he made his way home. Something truly exciting had happened for him today. Recently at school there'd been a man from a magazine stationed in California doing some observing of students and work, mostly looking for interns from what'd he'd understood so he hadn't exactly jumped at the chance to make himself known to him. He didn't want to move halfway across the country for an internship, even if it did increase his chances of getting hired at that magazine. That was why he'd been surprised when he'd been approached and even then he didn't expect what was going to happen next. He hadn't ever expected the offer for an actual job, a one year contract to work as a professional photographer at an actual magazine where his work would be printed. With an offer like that who could refuse? He agreed to it, though the man had told him to think it over for a few days first and then come back to sign the contract if he was still sure. He'd agreed to that idea, though he felt sure he'd be back to sign.
An actual photography job, what he'd been working for and what he'd been hoping for in the years past. How he could even do anything different than go for it, he had no clue. Unless this wasn't actually happening and was just a dream or something, since that seemed like as likely an option as anything else at this point. On the drive home he found that he was still bursting with excitement over the whole idea and he couldn't wait to tell Addie either, knowing that she'd be just as thrilled and happy for him. After all, the offer could have gone to someone else but he'd gotten chosen for it and this was a really big deal. Parking the car and making his way into the building, he hurried a bit faster on the way back to the apartment given that he was a bit later than usual anyway. When he walked inside he could hardly contain his excitement, taking off his shoes inside the door. "Addie," he called for her before going to find her, walking straight up to her and bending down to give her a greeting kiss. "You will never believe what happened to me today. I mean, I was there and I still have trouble believing it."
