The Lost Alpha Queen
“Jackie, babe, breathe before you choke on your coffee or your own spit. You’re going to be great. You’ve worked so hard for this!”
“You’re right, Drea. I just wish I hadn’t slacked off so much my freshman year. If I hadn’t, I could’ve graduated with everyone in May.”Andrea knew that what Jackie called "slacking off" was really her dealing with the loss of their mom in an unhealthy way. While Jackie acknowledged her past, she refused to let it define her. Her regrets collected like old friends, each demanding a pound of flesh, but Jackie was done with that chapter. She had cut the past out, and now she had a fresh start ahead of her, starting with this new job.
