<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy was really relieved that Sidney didn’t joke with her slapping him right away. In the future, once she knew Sidney better, she probably wouldn’t mind it too much. While right now Amy was nervous and insecure, she was a very easy-going girl, with a pretty nice sense of humor, and would definitely be able to laugh at her own misstep in the future.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">**************************</div><br/>Smiling to Gloria, Amy nodded when she said Hollywood was very different from her home. She could imagine, since she had felt just the same when arriving at the city. <br/><br/>Amy sighed when Gloria said that where she had come from, she didn’t have to worry about being robbed. “I can imagine. I came from a small town as well, where everyone always helped everyone else”, she replied quietly. <br/><br/>When Gloria agreed to follow her to the motel, Amy smiled. She was happier there than she would have been elsewhere. The place wasn’t expensive, but it was pretty decent. Most of the people who lived there were people like Amy - people who kept menial jobs while looking for their break. Amy herself had done all kinds of jobs that didn’t involve taking her clothes off. Right now, she was working at a dentist’s office as a receptionist. It wasn’t a bad job, but it paid basically all she needed not to be out on the street.<br/><br/>“Do you have any acting experience?”, she asked curiously. Amy was thinking that, if she actually made it, she could help Gloria in the future. But even now, she would be able to help Gloria learn the ropes and get a gig or two, shooting pictures for some company’s advertisement. It wasn’t acting, but it was a way of getting someone’s face out there. “I haven’t gotten the right break yet, but if you want to, we can talk about things here and I can tell you what I have learned since I have gotten here”, Amy offered.<br/><br/>“We’re here”, she completed, turning to enter a building with a “Motel” sign. “I know it may sound a bit odd that I am offering this to a stranger”, she carried on while they walked to the counter. “I would like doing for you what nobody has done for me”, she explained, stopping by the counter and smiling to a lady in her mid-40s. “I’m back, Maggie, would you get my keys, please? This is Miss Gloria, and she would like to see a room too, if you have one”, she introduced, turning to Gloria. “This is Mrs. Maggie, she runs this place. You can trust her, she is a nice lady”.</div>
