At your home, later that night.

You wrap up the session with Anastasia, letting her change back into her normal clothes, while you save the progress you had with the Hollywood Cosplay Guild photos from the previous weekend, and upload the photos from earlier, onto the computer. So when Shannon brings Anastasia back to the office, she can already see the photos that were taken. You go over some of the retouching & enhancement that you want to do with some of the photos, where the emphasis will be--whether it's her costume, or the tattoos on her body. After she gives her approval, and leaves her business card with you, you give her your own business card, and shake hands with her, before Shannon leads her out. With that done, you find a good spot to save your works, then get ready to call it a day at the studio.

The drive home is a pretty uneventful one, as you fight through the rush-hour traffic to reach your condo. It's a rather mid-size condo, in a complex made up of three different condos. There's an assigned garage space for your mid-size SUV to be parked in, with a convenient back door to your condo nearby. The living room of your condo is relatively small, but functional. You have a complete kitchen area, and a small dining area, for a round table, and four chairs. A set of stairs goes up, where you have a full bath, a master bedroom, and the 2nd room, where you have your home photography studio. That room holds a storage of external hard drives, where you've stored all of your photos from years of field work. There's also a second computer, which is more of a gaming PC for you, than the other one, which serves as your in-home PC for storing & editing photos.

You start to wind down, removing your shoes & socks, then having a sensible dinner, while watching the evening news, then a couple of primetime shows. Then you retreat upstairs, where you slip out of your work clothes, and put on your PJ's. When you go to your photo-editing PC after a nighttime brushing of your teeth, you take a look at your e-mails & social media stuff--both the photography-related stuff, and your more personal stuff, where you keep-in-touch with your family, relatives, and friends. For awhile, it looks like you were going to have another quiet, peaceful night, before you go to sleep, and then your smartphone rings. When you take a look at the screen, it shows the number & the name.....

that matches with Anastasia.

"Hello, Anastasia?" You talk to her through the phone, after hitting the answer button on the screen.

"Hey, Alex." You hear her speak. "I apologize for calling you at this time of the night, and I know we're barely acquainted with each other. But I have a friend of mine with me who's really curious about your photography business, and wants to know if she can come to your studio, at the earliest opportunity."

"Oh?" You ask her. "For what purpose?"

"She's a fellow tattoo model, like me, Alex," Anastasia tells you over the phone, "and she also models alongside hot rides. Thing is, her primary photographer, who was her boyfriend, was recently killed in a car accident, and she & her car-customizing family have been looking for a new studio to work with."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Anastasia." You tell her. "I'll have to take a look at my schedule, to see which is the earliest she can come in. Do you have her information? Or will she give it to me?"

"She has the business card you gave me earlier today." Anastasia tells you. "She'll be texting you shortly."

You take a look at the info for the potential new client through her social media pages. You find that the woman in question, is Brianna Jaramilla Eustachio Torres. Brianna Torres...it seems to ring a small bell in your head, as you can barely remember her as a regular model for those various Latino vehicle customs magazines. When you do further research on her, you find that it is the same model that is barely familiar in the back of your head. From those photos, you can tell that she is a tall, busty, curvy Latina, with curves that would give Charlotte a run for her money. You know that her natural hair color is brownish, but she's been known to dye some of her locks in various colors. She's also heavily tattooed, primarily with images related to her Catholic upbringing, her Mexican heritage, and honoring her family. After a quick look at your schedule, you then speak to Anastasia through the smartphone.

"Hello, Anastasia?" You speak to her.

"Oh, hello, Alex." You find that it's now Brianna's voice that responds, and it carries a rich, spicy Mexican accent & tone. "It's me, Brianna. Anastasia gave me her smartphone, so that I could speak with you directly. What is the earliest that I can come to your studio?"

"Friday afternoon." You tell her. "I only have a 4:00pm slot available for that day. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the new year comes in, because we're already fully booked for the rest of the year, before the studio goes on holiday."

"That will do fine, Alex." Brianna tells you. "I'm off from my other duties that day, and I can definitely come in."

"I will inform my crew of the add-on." You tell Brianna. "I look forward to seeing you, then."

"Gracias, Alex." Brianna tells you. "Buenas noches, Alex."

"Have a good night, Alex." Anastasia tells you. "She said 'Thank you', if you don't know Spanish."
