God, I love her. This is why I could never complain to her about my role. I would never find a boss like her again.

I knew Buck would be happy that he features heavily in today’s writing, so I decided not to overthink texting him the same day I met him. It’s not like he was a boy I was trying to flirt with, so I felt like the outdated three-day rule didn’t apply.

I had sweaty palms the entire ten minutes it took him to text me back though, but he’s a one-line-per-text texter, and it made me feel so vindicated with every ping of my phone.

Buck:

I’m going to be a star

When should I tell my mom?

This is amazing

Louisa:

My boss loves you, you’re definitely staying in the article

Buck:

If I show it to Willie, you think he’ll go out with me?

Louisa:
