Chapter 41: The Gym

If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit. – Bansky

After their talk, Reese told Helen not to stop going to the gym. She was doing good and should keep up her routine. Monday she didn’t go. Tuesday she almost talked herself out of going. But she went. 

Pinky realized immediately that Helen was not her usual happy bubbly self. Her heart wasn’t in the workout. 

“Helen? Why don’t we go talk in my office?” Pinky suggested. 

Helen nodded and followed her into the small office behind the reception desk. “Let’s go ahead and get your weight and measurements.”

She stepped up onto the scale and Pinky wrote down the number. Then she stood still as her waist, thigh and arm measurements were taken. When that was all done, they sat on opposite sides of the desk. 

“What’s bothering you?”

“It’s nothing important.”
