Chapter 6

“Yeah. I mean, yeah… it’s pretty cool.” Very smooth, Elizabeth.

“That’s good,” she simply stated and we sat there in silence, looking at the ground.

“Oh, well, I’m a photographer now. I do some modelling on the side. But I much prefer being behind the camera,” she responded much more cheerfully than before.

It was nice. She never really was into accounting or business, but her family pushed it on her. “So now I do photoshoots for, like, graduations, engagements, baby announcements. And I do freelance stuff for the newspaper sometimes.”
