Back at home...

Sunday afternoon, after arriving back in Minneapolis, you take Maddie out to lunch to thank her for the trip. Just as you?re about to leave, you get a call from a strange number. ?Hello?? you ask.

?Hi, may I speak with Gabriella please.?

?This is her.?

?Hi Gabriella, this is Claudia Vanderbilt.?

?Oh, hi!? you say before covering up the phone. You whisper to Maddie who it is.

?I?ve met with a few other people in the agency, and they all agree that you?re it. We?d like to fly you out to L.A. next weekend for a shoot. I can fax you over a contract tomorrow. Since this would be your first shoot, we?d start you at five-thousand dollars. What do you say??

You don?t know what to say. All you know is that you have a lot more thanking of Maddie to do.

Viva Los Angeles!
