Inside the salon was a long row of pedicure seats, as well as a row of nail stations. Along the other wall was the row of salon chairs. It was oddly quiet as most people were absorbed in whatever task they were doing. A gaggle of middle-aged women sat in the pedicure seats all looking over and each other and making light conversation as the estheticians were busy working away on their feet.
Upon entering the clack of Ashley's Mary Janes shoes were loud enough on the floor along with a bell sound from the door opening that a number of people looked at Ashley as she walked in. Ashley froze as she met the gaze of some of the middle-aged women. Her hand wandered down to the front of her dress.
"Surely they couldn't tell what I was wearing?" Ashley thought silently. She tucked her head down and walked straight ahead.
Ashley walked up to the receptionist nervously. The older lady didn't even look up from her magazine. Ashley made a small cough.
"Oh Hello! Can I help you?" The lady said upon realizing there was someone in front of her.
"Yes, I have a nail appointment" Ashley responded
"Oh yes! We have one seat left so perfect timing!" The lady pointed to the only pedicure chair open.
Ashley gasped as it was right in the middle of the row. She was hoping to be off to the side so no one would notice her.
