New email from The Rejecting Agent from yesterday:

Hi again, Mindi--

Just got off the phone with [agent], and he said your manuscript sounded right up his alley, and he's been hankering for a new contemporary YA, so send it along!

[his email address]

I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

Best,
[agent]

SHE CALLED HIM ON THE PHONE FOR ME!  Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
