Author’s Note: The confrontation in this chapter between Sam and Poppy, is inspired by a real experience I had. The details of what happened next and why it happened have been fictionalized, but the feeling of being called into the editor-in-chief's office as a 22-year-old is one I'll never forget. In fact, it may have changed the trajectory of my career forever.
