"A caramel latte with whipped cream and chips." Mia walked to the counter and ordered her usual. She had gone to three more interviews, and even though she knew the result, she still couldn't help but feel saddened by them.
She was both skilled and experienced, and yet because her scumbag ex-husband was still on her arse, she had been deemed not 'skilled' enough by all the departments of HR.

"You have this brooding look on your face as if you have a lot to think and worry about," replied Ally. She winked at Mia and questioned, "Having a hard time after divorce?"
