The Travel Trip

Victor crossed the Bay Bridge in his new Toyota Camry and was headed home to his new apartment in the city. He couldn’t believe it. After all those years of uncertainty and endless hours of academic writing, reading and studying he had finally finished law school and had even landed a promising job in San Francisco. It was only three months ago that he had first arrived to the California Bay area, and that time it was by plane. He flew into Oakland and took BART to a hotel San Francisco where he relaxed and prepared for his interview the next morning. It was also there a month ago after having received the job offer and found himself the apartment he was now headed home to.

Ultimately Victor planned to start his own criminal defense practice though for now he intended to gain as much experience as he could. He never dreamed that he would be so fortunate as to actually get to live and work in a city such as San Francisco, but as he exited the bridge he was sure it was real. This was now his life and he was going to make the most of it.

He had even already made a friend. Well, technically it was an acquaintance but it gave Victor more of a sense of belonging. One thing he discovered immediately was that it was easy to feel lost and alone in a big city, especially one in which he didn’t know anyone. However, he had struck up a conversation with one of the court clerks while he was at the San Francisco Superior Court on his second day on the job. He was being given a tour of the city and all the buildings he would need to frequent regularly and he noticed Kelly’s friendly face right away. She introduced herself and the two of them hit it off right away. He looked for her again the following week when he was there and found her walking through the door as she returned from getting coffee across the street. He looked at her and knew San Francisco was going to bring him great things.
