Like, that's how we were maneuvering through this, you know?

And, um, so basically she gives me this and I, and I said, well, you know, hope to hear from you sometime.

And if there's anything else coming up, she goes, Oh, hold on a second.

And she sticks the Sharpie and she starts writing.

these numbers down and she wrote her number on the the picture and I was like what's that and she's like I was trying to play dumb I was like what's that and she's like my number and I'm like oh I'm sure it's the wrong number she goes well call it dummy so I called it and of course it's ringing right there and so she's like and she goes well now I got your number huh and so like and I was like yeah and uh again you know I went home did my thing it's my story came out

You know, honestly, I, it, the whole week was kind of crazy and emotional with the kids and, um, you know, and it was, it was a contrast from the Derby, which was crazy.

And this was kind of like low key, but like still things were going on.

And, um,

I don't know.

I might be just dumb.

I just, I was, I did.

I still thought it was cool.

I went home and I was scared to call it because I thought maybe she just kind of felt guilty about and gave me the number.

You know, I feel I just feel like I wasn't entitled to it, you know, and I still feel like part of me was like, not that I was working for her, but I had just done this story and things.

And I was like, this is I was in my head thinking, you know, that my journalism teacher was talking, saying, you know, don't blur the lines.

So anyways, it was fine, but I left.

I went home, and I was literally a little ways down the road, and I get this call from Anna, and she's like, do you want to go out to California and work on some calendars and some photos for me?

I want to jumpstart my store.

And I'm like...

Sure.
