She took her time walking through midtown. It was already 1:30 AM. The last train had left the station at 1:15.
She’d been working at the club.
She’d made a connection with a customer and gotten lost in his eyes.
Normally she’d give herself a good amount of time to transform into her everyday self.
No makeup, jeans, t shirt.

“If you want, come and see me. We’ll talk.”
That’s what he’d said at the end of the lap dance she’d given him.
They’d talked for a good hour at the bar before that.
More than what she should’ve according to her employer and bartenders.
There was just something about him.
Like he saw her.
Really saw her.
She made a decision….
