Love, Rosie (112 page)

trying
to
find
himself
again.

Didn’t
you
hear
about
Rosie’s
job??
I
thought
you
would
have
been
one

of
the
first
people
she’d
have
told
(apart
from
her
darling
Alex
of
course),

but
perhaps
she
wasn’t
ready
to
discuss
it
yet.
That
girl
has
me
so
worried
at

times.
Honestly
she
kept
telling
me
all
week
that
she
was
going
to
lose
her

job,
finally
she
calls
me
to
tell
me
that
she
had
a
meeting
with
her
bosses
and

she
tells
me
she
got
a
promotion!

Oh
Stephanie
we
were
so
thrilled
for
her!!
It
was
only
a
few
days
ago!

I’m
surprised
she
hasn’t
told
you
the
good
news
yet.
Anyway
I’ll
let
her
tell

you
herself
or
else
I’ll
be
in
trouble
for
spoiling
the
surprise.
I
better
go
now;

your
father’s
calling
me.
We’re
about
to
go
down
to
the
garden
center.
If
he

plants
any
more
flowers
or
trees
in
that
garden,
we’ll
have
to
apply
for
plan-

ning
permission
they’re
so
high!

Take
care
love,
and
hugs
and
kisses
to
baby
Jean-Louis
from
Grandma

and
Granddad!

Re:

Thanks
Steph,
sorry,
thought
Mum
gave
you
all
the
info.
Yes
I
am
excited!

The
job
title
is
“Hotel
Host”
and
before
you
get
overexcited
like
our
beloved

parents
did,
it’s
not
the
manager’s
job!
I
will
be
the
primary
source
of
informa-

tion
for
guests
to
ensure
maximum
client
satisfaction!
(Or
so
they
tell
me
.
.
.
)

It
was
the
surprise
of
all
surprises!
I
literally
had
to
drag
my
body
into

the
long
conference
room,
where
I
had
my
first
interview
years
ago,
with
my

head
hanging
and
my
body
slumped,
feeling
like
jelly.
