Reading Log

Macy's summer is very scheduled, right down to the T. She has her routine and she doesn't fray from it. She wakes up, goes to the library, eats alone, comes home, does laundry, and SAT prep, all in all she doesn't ever go out and do anything fun. This continues until the day she breaks down and shows some weakness in her email to Jason, her brainiac boyfriend. At the end of the email she signs, I love you. Something most couples say after a year of dating like Macy and Jason. He responds with concern that she isn't as focused on her library job as she should be, as he was and tells her they need a break. After reading this Macy drives, she drives around town to escape the thought of responding and the quiet house she no longer felt was home. As she drive through town she spots the Wish catering that had earlier been to one of her mother's parties, the same catering company who also offered her a job, being spontaneous in the moment, she fallows the van to a house and approaches Delia, the owner. In a bit of a frantic mode, Delia keeps her promise that Macy could have a job and Macy starts that minute. With a little bit of change in her life, more is to come but not in the way Macy expects and it will cause Macy to come back to reality.
