Elinor did not like the gym. It smelled like stale sweat and was full of the sort of meatheads that Elinor had been surrounded with her entire life and never liked. And yet, her daughter forced her to frequent it.

Well, not frequent. She did not often come inside. Usually, if she was meeting Merida after work, she waited outside, or made Merida come to Chapter Three.

Today, however, that was not going to be possible. Elinor had an engagement up until their dinner reservations at Tiana’s tonight. So, here she was on the back half of her lunch break. Against her will. As she approached the counter, she did her best to smile. Which was a rather good job, considering Elinor was very good at hiding her distaste when it suited her.

“Hullo,” Elinor said primly to the man working at the counter. “I am looking for Merida DunBroch.”
