The following week, she packed up her belongings and returned back home to her family. Once she arrived, she immediately took a week off just to reacquaint herself with her hometown. It did not matter to her that the dark roots from her red hair were starting to grow back, or that no one was attempting to call her for a job interview. All she could think of was how wonderful it was to be back.
A few weeks had passed, and Stephanie found herself struggling to seek employment. Within a short time, everything started to fall apart. Her relationship with her boyfriend had eventually ended, and she was starting to run out of money. Her short-term employment as a paralegal in a local law firm had finished by the time the spring season had arrived. As a result of her finances depleting, Stephanie suffered from minor hardship and was forced to take any job to bring back her income. The job market within the legal environment became nonexistent for her, which had her returning into the blue collar world of the retail industry just to get by.
Once she started to accumulate some cash flow, she consulted a lawyer and filed for bankruptcy. During the summer, she wiped away her debt, made a new circle of friends, and eventually fell head over heels in love before her birthday. The new man that she had met was a film producer, who co-owned a restaurant with his family. For Stephanie, it was definitely love at first sight. He was Latino, dark, and extremely handsome with long hair tied back away from his face. While she stood there in awe, he returned her glance with a sensual smirk. In his mind, she seemed like just a mere cute and flirty girl with reddish hair. When she left the restaurant, she vowed to somehow make an attempt to purposely run into him again. Little did she know that this present meeting would change her world for the rest of her life. As the weeks had passed, she had frequented this restaurant several times just to catch a glimpse of her newfound love interest. It was basically something that she would always look forward to since her world on the other side of the coin was saddened by the illness of her father.
