You decide not to pressure her

You decided that trying to talk her into doing full frontal wasn't worth potentially upsetting her, and you knew you'd be able to get a lot out of HBO for topless scenes anyway. She looked relieved when you didn't try to talk her into doing full frontal, which made you all the more certain you made the right decision. With the two of you on the same page, you were brimming with confidence when you sat down to negotiate with the HBO executives.

It's two days after that initial meeting with HBO, and they've just sent over the revised contract for your (and Sophie's) approval. You examine the terms carefully and confirm that everything is in order. It's a good deal; you were able to squeeze quite a bit out of HBO in exchange for Sophie agreeing to shoot multiple topless scenes this season. They offered substantially more to try and entice her into going full frontal as well, but you shot down any of those attempts right away because you weren't about to go against Sophie's wishes. You decide to text her with the good news.

She's meeting with the writers today, so it takes a while for her to respond. When she finally does it is by phone rather than text.

"That's wonderful, John! You double-checked it all? Everything's in order?" she said excitedly once you answered her call.

"Everything's in order," you repeated in answer. "All it needs is your signature and we'll be good to go."

"Great! I've just finished up here, and I'm free for the rest of the night. Should I just drop by your hotel room and sign it, or would you rather meet somewhere?"
