A short chat

Lara had considered that decision a lot before making the appointment. It felt odd for her, and she hadn't considered spending money on that before. Yet, at some point, she had understood she couldn't deal with it alone.

On one side, she owed it to her cubs. She needed to become better for them. She owed it to Nate, as well, so that he could have a confident woman by his side.

And, last but not least, she had some money to spend on her account after a whole month of working at the company with little expenses on her side. She was leeching on Nate, but he would have been annoyed if she refused to.

In the end, it was an investment for a better future for them all.

She was right on time when she crossed the door of the studio, and she sat in the waiting room for a minute only before a woman noticed her.

«Are you Miss Clayton, by any chance?» she asked.

«Yes... Doctor Mason?»

«Correct,» she replied with a smile. «I'm Skyler Mason.»
