That was also a surprise.
Sunny was apparentlyfullof surprises, and Grant didn’t hate that at all. So far he’d been competent, and understanding, and hadn’t judged Grant for the complete mess his life was right now. He’d even come up with a great solution to a long-term problem.
He wasexactlythe kind of person Grant needed in his corner.
“Can you start now?” he asked.
There wasn’t going to be a better candidate. He could feel himself clicking with Sunny already, and he knew in his heart that he could interview a hundred people and he’d still pick this one.
Besides, he needed help as soon as possible, and he didn’t even have any other interviews scheduled yet.
“I can,” Sunny said.
Grant breathed a sigh of relief.
“Awesome. I’ll start on the paperwork,” he said. “You got a real name for that?”
Sunny raised an eyebrow. “Sunnyismy real name.”
“Oh.” Grant blinked at him.
“It’s short for Sunshine,” Sunny explained. “My parents wanted something as unique and special as I was,” he said, sarcasm rolling off him.
Grant chuckled. “My daughter’s called Hope, so I can’t exactly throw stones,” he said. “I’ll grab my laptop and we can make this official. And then I need you to go buy iron-on nametags, because that’s anawesomeidea.”
Sunny’s whole face lit up with a grin. He obviously took positive feedback well.
They’d get along just fine.
