A: [Honestly, still have to finish up with one client right now. Closed up to other customers tonight because of it, but I'll be here!]
A: [Will have to let you in when you get to the door, so send me a message then. We'll be done in time for us to go eat before some spots I know get crowded.]
Special clients probably aren't that rare for her. There must be what is known as 'divas' of all kinds. But I'm not sure why she bothered telling me all that instead of just *when* I should arrive.
Something about how she seems so eager for me to arrive, even though she isn't actually rushing me… felt odd - but I dismissed it. Maybe she said it that way to be polite. In case I was right around the block.
Of course, I'm not and I can't really just go out looking like this, can I? Dusty clothes and hair. Anise didn't really see me at my 'worst' that day - I'd already been cleaned up in the spa before I went for clothes - so I don't really want to make that impression.
