Stephanie inhaled slowly, steadying her breathing. She tapped her fingers on the table in front of her, waiting for her boyfriend George to get home. Her nerves were through the roof, and her heart was pounding.
This was the most important test she’d ever taken. No letter grade: just pass/fail. No wat to study. Her future depended on the outcome – whether she’d stay with her boyfriend or move on.
Three minutes passed, and she heard the sound of George’s car in the driveway. She took a deep breath, put on a huge smile, and prepared to meet George’s mother.
