Paul's car rolls into the driveway as the afternoon sun glints off the enormous pool. He steps out, loosening his tie after another long day, and immediately spots Desirée stretched across a lounger, cocktail in hand, sunhat shading her face.
Beside her sitswho he assumes is the au pair, looking noticeably less comfortable.
Paul slows, taking in the unfamiliar presence before walking toward them.
Desirée glances over.
You're finally home.
Paul gives her a restrained smile.
Long day?
She shrugs, taking another sip.
Nothing unusual. Until now anyway
Paul looks toward the stranger beside her.
Desirée gestures lazily toward you.
I was just explaining the situation.
Paul raises an eyebrow.
Situation?
She laughs softly.
We don't actually have children.
Paul looks from Desirée to the you, already sensing the awkwardness coming from you.
I was just waiting to see if they still wanted the job after I explained that they're really more of a live-in PA than an au pair.
Paul's expression shifts into genuine curiosity as he studies you
Well... I’m sure you’ve made the best possible first impression.
He directs his full attention on you
Before you decide whether you still want the post, perhaps you could introduce yourself.
