She stepped into her studio for the first time by herself after the Super Director's birthday. Someone had always been over, and this time she was by herself. She got things ready for work the next day. Everything had it's place.
She looked out over the city, her city, and felt powerful. She might go into debt staying here. She might stay on here for a long time, longer than her lease. She might hate it after 6 months. Had she locked herself away in this tower on purpose, to protect her from the world like a princess in a fairy tale? Who knows. In this moment however, it was a thing of beauty. She felt very, very alive.
This was her moment, and she was going to enjoy every minute of it. She decided not to worry about money, just do the best she could do with what she had. She was going to concentrate on her writing, devote herself every night to either writing something, or going out and making memories with friends.
She couldn't wait to get started. Despite her East facing problem, she slept more soundly than she had in the last 13 years, her dragons and moat protecting her.
