Several paragraphs from the story;

"There was no reason for him to remember me. I was awkward
and shy the last time I saw him. We never spoke and he only looked
at me the one time. I have changed a lot since then and I am not a
shy, awkward girl any more. Now I am a woman who is standing
outside his club working up the courage to go in and perform well
enough to gain his attention. Stripping was never my intent, but it is
money and more than I can possibly make working at the same diner
my mother worked at until her pained legs gave way. Oh hell, why do I
even bother to think of her at this moment? She was no saint and certainly
no mother to Braylin and me."
