There’s something in Ellie’s eyes that compels me to agree to her request. We walk silently to the room that is to be my new office once I get everything set up. She closes the door behind us and turns to face me.
“I am so sorry about what happened the other night,” she says. I don’t know what to say. Part of me still wants to yank out her hair and scratch her eyes out, but I know that’s not fair. She’s mature enough to apologize to me in a professional, heartfelt manner. I should be mature enough to hear her out.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me, or even like me,” she continues. “But I just need you to know that I never would’ve given him the time of day if I knew he had a girlfriend.”
“How long have you known him?” I ask. I remember the look on her face when Peter said she meant nothing. I knew from that look alone that she wasn’t some chick he picked up at a bar that night.
“I met him about three months ago,” she explains. “We went on a few dates. He seemed so nice and stable. Last night was the first time I’d ever been to his place. Well, your place, I guess.” She looks down at the floor. I still don’t say anything. I’m still numb from the ordeal, to be honest. She looks up at me again, I swear there are tears welling up in her eyes. I realize that I’m not the only one Peter’s hurt.
“Look,” she sighs. “I understand if you don’t want to work with me after all of this. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted another intern.”
“No,” I say. “You don’t deserve to be punished for Peter’s actions. He’s a scumbag and a lair. I appreciate your apology. I’d like to keep you as my intern, if you’re comfortable with it.”
“You mean it?” Her face breaks into a shining grin. I find myself smiling back.
“Of course.” I give her shoulder a friendly squeeze. “You and I have been fucked over by the same guy. We should stick together.”
