Madison quietly glided over towards the chair and took a seat, folding her hands in her lap. A faint glow from a finger on her left hand caught the light just right, if anyone was paying attention. "I know I'm a tad early in telling you this but, I will need a couple of weeks off for the upcoming summer." She paused in her words by pushing her hair behind her ears.
"I've recently become engaged and my fiancee and I are planning a small wedding followed by a quiet trip for two." Her eyes beamed with joy as she looked from Lorraine down to the ring on her finger then back up again. If anyone knew her quite well, they could tell it was the happiest she had ever been.
But before her boss could get in another word, she wanted to pass along any information leading up to the days she would need off from work. "I will plan ahead in making sure that all my work here is completed and up-to-date." She pressed her lips together, finally becoming quiet and allowing Lorraine to speak.
