<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy felt much better now that she had taken the time to breathe and that she knew Gloria was a true friend. And having someone to run her lines with made Amy much more confident. She needed to apply herself, and with that, Amy was sure that she would get the part. And she would make a point of helping her friend as soon as she was able to. For now, though, she needed to take the first steps.<br/><br/>With a last deep breath, she nodded. “I will introduce you to those photographers I told you about, we can see them whenever you want. This way you’ll have a safe place to work when the jobs come around”, Amy promised, to make clear that she hadn’t forgotten about her promises. <br/><br/>Only after this promise did she step into Gloria’s room. “Thank you so much again”, Amy murmured. She would still make sure that she wasn’t disturbing her friend before they started running the lines. It wasn’t a lot, but Amy wanted to have every line at the tip of her tongue.<br/><br/>Amy would keep her focus on the line for a few hours, until she noticed she was starting to get hungry. Looking at her wristwatch, Amy was surprised to see it was almost half past one. “My God, I’m sorry, I’ve wasted your entire morning!”, she exclaimed, sincerely sorry about that. “Let’s change, and I’ll take you to the diner for lunch - deal?”, she offered, wanting to repay Gloria’s kindness in what little way she could.</div>
