"I'm going to miss you." He kisses my hair and the tears in my eyes break loose.
"I'm going to miss you too." He pullsout of his arms and looks at me.
"You make sure to give them your all, okay?" I nod in tears.
"Okay." "You are an amazing designer. I know you're going to win. All you have to do is work hard." "Thank you very much Michael." He kisses my hair yet again before lettinggo. I turn to Sheila who looks unbothered by all that's going on.
"Goodbye Sheila." I say with a small smile before turning to get into the car.

"I know you're going to win." "Thank You Sheila." We bithe disengage from the hug. I'm still smiling widely as I look at my mum and Micahel whobare are smiling brightly at me.

"Okay." He simply says and puts on his headphones. That indicates the end of the Conversation.
The ride continues in total silence and I keep smiling every now andh Ryan just called then. I can't believethe best designer. It feels surreal to hear those words from his mouth.
