<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy also felt that she could be good friends with Gloria. The other girl seemed like a kind person, and a small town girl like she was. Amy could see herself in Gloria, and wanted Gloria to be as lucky as she had been. No, she hadn’t gotten the big break yet. But she hadn’t been forced into indecent movies, or forced to sleep with some agent to get a chance. So, things could have been a lot worse. And she wanted to offer Gloria the chance to get her break without having to stoop too low.<br/><br/>Just like Gloria, Amy had come to Hollywood with a deadline given by her parents. Hers had been a little longer - twelve months. But she had to give proof that she was at least working, in any way it happened to be. Luck had smiled at her, and she had found a few photoshoots. It wasn’t her break, but it was proof to her parents that her face was out there. With that, and the jobs she had found to support herself, Amy had managed to stay where she was for a while longer. And she hoped that Gloria would find jobs as well. <br/><br/>“You do have a point. I hope you hit it big, but don’t feel discouraged. It takes time, after all”, Amy replied to Gloria’s comment on good things coming for those who wait. She had waited, and now she was a few steps away from her dream, close enough to touch it. Gloria was young and good looking, she might make it too. Maybe Amy could even help her once she had found her spot and solidified her career, who knew? For now, though, they had to get Gloria settled. She should probably be tired. <br/><br/>Maggie smiled back at Gloria. She seemed like a respectable girl, and hopefully wouldn’t cause any trouble in her motel. And since she seemed friendly with Amy, maybe Amy could talk to her in case something happened. With that in mind, the woman relaxed and decided that the girl would cause no trouble. <br/><br/>Excusing herself, Amy led Gloria to the area where they would stay. She walked by the girl’s side and replied right away when Gloria asked where she worked. “I have done all kinds of jobs, but right now I’m working as a receptionist for a dentist. He is an older man, very respectable, and I really like this job. It doesn’t pay much, but it pays enough to keep me housed and fed”, she explained. <br/><br/>Unlocking her room, she showed it to Gloria. It was small, and had just a bed and a dresser, with a tiny bathroom inside. Despite simple, it was clean and tidy. “Every room is like that. Mrs. Maggie keeps everything very clean here, and mostly young women like us live here, so you can relax, it’s a pretty safe place”, Amy explained, hoping to put her new friend at ease.</div>
