After Lara and Greg had finished their meals Greg offered to give Lara a lift back into town so she could meet up with her friend Allie. They continued their conversation on the drive.
“So, what are you going to do?” asked Greg as he drove.
“Well, I’m scheduled back at my sister’s in a few days, I’ll have it out with her then, show her the pictures and tell her your story, I’m sure she’ll see sense.”
“Err I don’t think that’s such a great idea Lara, no offense.”
“What? Why on earth not?” asked Lara
“Well if your sister is anything like I was, she won’t listen, won’t give it a second thought.” stated Greg matter-of-factly, “Jean will have her eating out of the palm of her hand, literally and figuratively. She’ll be so deep in her head she could tell her that the sky is green and the grass blue and your sis is gonna say of course it is, when’s dinner?”

Commission - Vengeance is Fat parts 1 & 2
Lara took her seat on the plane and sighed as she tried to make herself comfortable. It would be a long flight but totally worth it in her eyes. She hadn’t seen her sister Diana since she had decided to move to the states to be with her new girlfriend. That had been four years ago.
Sure, they’d chatted on Facebook and shared phone calls at Christmas and on birthdays but Diana had never been the most sociable of creatures and she’d blamed a lack of work as to why she hadn’t been able to come visit the family in the following years. For Lara’s part she had been busy putting herself through university and simply couldn’t afford to be making international trips.
But that was done with now and she had found success as a digital artist, working hard so that she could afford a trip to see her beloved older sister.
Lara spent much of the flight updating her blog, watching the odd film and sleeping. She had hoped that her sister might have surprised her by meeting her at the airport but that didn’t happen. Instead she got a cab to her hotel and called it a night after letting Diana and their mother know that she had arrived safely.
