I wonder if you could get paid extra for security too?
I would demand it.
Hey, people want to give me money while I take a year off and try and establish myself as an escort/bodyguard?
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And what creepy guy calls a date an "escort"? I know that escort is a common term for a MALE companion for some married bluehair at the Support the Pigeons Ball, but "yeah, mom, I got a job as an escort/masseuse!"? Sign me the fuck up!

Is her WIP that frelling good that people would pay to see it? Let the market take care of it.
But whether it is or not, it might call down the wrath of people who want to stop you from doing (or severely alter how you do) something you love. I can see getting defensive/protective in that scenario.

I was thinking more cuddle lounges, myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could totally just walk out, except I bet in five minutes the woman I work with is going to email me, because we haven't spoken all day. I should probably be here for that email.

What'll you do if they don't?

Sulk? Pout? Stomp? Take all my toys and go home?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Let the market take care of it.
Okay, but the market is stupid.
Also, some of the WiPs she was offering to finish were collaborative efforts with other writers who were not amused.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Alliteration, I think, Emily.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We have ads for those kinds of "personal assistants" in the local weekly. It's all "attractive female" "travel involved" etc. It creeps me out. I was hired as a PA at my last job, but we changed it to admin because of the creepy factor associated with PA.
