Rich shook his head. “I have a friend. You know him, Erik Larson. He’s looking for a nanny for his three-year-old. It’s just for a few months until she enrolls inpreschool.”

“He had asked a few of his friends for references. He’s willing to pay well. More than you’d likely get waitressing. But in a worst case scenario, you could do both. Waitress at night and nanny during the day. Would you like me to set you up aninterview?”
I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “Thankyou.”
“I still think we could make it work for you here,” Uncle Rich said. “But I understand. Can you stay on until next week? Give me some time to find another assistant forKelly?”
“Of course. I wouldn’t just leave you empty-handed.” Or Kelly for that matter. She’d been good to me and she deservedbetter.
“And you’ll always have a job here when you wantone.”
I knew that too. But it still meant the world to hear him sayit.
