The ruler across the notebook page. You were already measuring out the whole month before the call even ended.

Quoted you at your rate, no haggling, no 'can we discuss the budget.' Someone finally seeing what you're worth.

I almost didn't pick up because I thought it was going to be another negotiation call. Sat there for a full minute after just staring at the wall.

Quoted at your rate, no 'what's your best price,' no back-and-forth. That's the email that changes the whole month.

I know literally nothing about wedding planning but even I've heard the name Ritu the Shah. The fact that she came to you and quoted you at your rate is the whole story.

Well earned, Meera.
