He watched, helpless, as the door closed behind her. Shmeane was going in for her first interview after graduation, and her father couldn't have been prouder. That didn't take away his worry for her success though.
He decided to wait at a coffee shop while she was at her interview. He drove away after dropping her off and found the nearest Coffee Supreme, about four blocks away.
I can't believe I'm driving through this crazy city he thought. He loved Shmeane enough to drive into the city, as nervous as it made him. Dahnne ordered a plenty-sized chocolate fraffratte, which would give anyone the jitters, but Dahnne figured he couldn't have more jitters than he already had for Shmeane right now.
Full of chocolatey warmth, Dahnne sat and pondered, mostly about what questions the interviewers would ask Shmeane, and how she would respond. After an hour and a half, he finally received a text from her. "All finished, ready to be picked up." Neutral tone Dahnne thought. I hope everything went well...
When Dahnne arrived back at the office, Shmeane was waiting patiently outside. She entered the car and sat poised as Dahnne carefully entered the traffic stream and began their travel home. After several moments, once he was settled, he finally asked "So how'd it go?"
Shmeane breathed heavily before blurting out "I got the job! They offered it to me right there! Dad, thank you so much for helping me prepare, I was nervous but I answered everything so well!"
Dahnne smiled a wide smile and patted Shmeane's leg. "Great job Shmee-shmee! I'm so proud of you, you earned this!"
"I really couldn't have done this without you dad!"
"Did you do the crinkle trick?"
Shmeanne paused and then said "Of course I did the crinkle trick! Of all the tricks in the book, how could I forget that one?"
Dahnne continued smiling contentedly knowing he did in fact teach his daughter something.
"Let's go celebrate at Pancake Central?"
"I would love nothing more than that."
