<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy was incredibly grateful for Gloria’s help. She wouldn’t know how to do everything on her own, and having someone to run lines with and to help her feel more confident was great. Amy had to admit she had been very lonely before meeting Gloria, but she hadn’t noticed how much up until now. <br/><br/>Spending the morning with Gloria, running lines, had helped Amy relax a lot. It was great not to have to run her lines alone. She was surprised that it had been easy to memorize with Gloria there to help. Maybe, she thought, it had been just what she needed to succeed. <br/><br/>Excusing herself, Amy went to her room to change. Since she was off duty for now, Amy chose a black skirt and a simple red blouse, and decided not to wear any make-up and tie her hair on a ponytail. <br/><br/>As she met Gloria outside their rooms, she led her friend to the diner and greeted Aunt Jo before finding a table near the window. Handing Gloria a menu, Amy looked at her own and settled on the beef stew and a glass of orange juice. She would wait for Gloria to make her own choice while making some small talk. “We can take a stroll around after lunch, and I can show you the most relevant places around”, she offered. “You know, photographers, some shops where you can get nice clothes and shoes, things of the sort. Hollywood is a place of appearances, but you can always save some money if you are willing to walk around and to take some new and nice second hand pieces”, Amy explained, wanting to get Gloria in on how things worked so she wouldn’t have to figure everything out on her own. She had not had a friend to help her, after all, and that made Amy want to help as many people as she could.</div>
