Chapter 74: Allie!

The membership prices caught my eye, and I let out a low whistle. 

They were at least three times higher than the average gym membership. Clearly, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill Pilates studio.

I quickly messaged her again.

[Me: Great. See you tomorrow.]

[Allie: Message me when you get there.]

Satisfied that our plans were confirmed, I set my phone down and leaned back in my chair. 

Just as I was about to dive into some online forums, my phone buzzed again, this time with a call from my mom.

"Hey, Mom," I said, answering with a casual tone.

Her voice carried its usual blend of warmth and no-nonsense attitude.

[Mom: Alex, when are you planning to enroll back in school?]

I glanced at the calendar on my desk and gave her the answer I knew she wanted to hear.

"Next month. I'll register in February and start in March."
