Getting a Job
After graduation, Laura decided to get a job. She found a waitressing position at a restaurant nearby. She would walk 20 minutes both to and from the restaurant every time she had a shift, using the journey to listen to music and think about the life she and Jack would have in the future. She thrived as a waitress, making both friends and tips easily.
Both her co-workers and customers were drawn to her friendly demeanor and she felt good about her first job out of college. After late shifts, she would go and see Jack at his work, but after a few months, she began to realize things had changed.
