In reality, Sabrina harbored reservations about bridal shoots, finding them both physically taxing and financially unrewarding, which she subtly communicated to her assistant.

Bettie, mindful of Sabrina's pregnancy and her need to avoid stress, reassured Sabrina's assistant, "We've got two days! Plus, I absolutely adore Ms. Chavez's photography style and won't be fussy, so it should be quick. And I'm more than willing to double the rate! Please, her work means so much to me!"

A few moments later, Sabrina's assistant's reply came through, bearing welcome news. “Ms. Chavez has agreed. Come to the studio at 8 in tomorrow morning to sign the contract and finalize the details. You'll need to bring your own outfits for the shoot."

"Great, that's amazing! Thank you!" Bettie texted, grinning.

Lance, catching sight of Bettie smiling like the cat who ate the canary, couldn't help but raise an intrigued eyebrow. “What's up? What's got you so happy?"
