Was that accurate? There were the volunteers too, who helped maintain some of the walking paths or ran programs for kids or any number of things... Tiberius was still thinking about it as he offered her the position and he wasn't exactly prepared for her shriek and the sudden hug. He had to laugh as he patted her back. "Well, ok then, I'll take that as a yes."
Right. That was enough of the hugging. She was.. going to let go, right?
Eden was just SOOO delighted. SO DELIGHTED. She did let go of him, and pull away, but she was smiling just SO SO SO much. She would have to send her MAM a letter...and IWIN...and EMMALEE and EVERYONE ELSE--and she' could tell CLARA and COLE and PHE and CUTHBERT and ugh! They'd all be so proud of her...
And for once, Eden felt like she was...worth something? She had done this all on her own. She had worked hard, applied for this, owled the guy ALL ON HER OWN. She'd done all of the work in getting that license for Drago--and she'd studied for here OWLs...HARD. She just felt...so accomplished. And super adult. And PROUD. She was PROUD.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!" she said excitedly.
"Thank you for coming all this way to meet with me and--I promise I will NOT disappoint you this summer--"
