The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 482

Suzie adjusted her bed to lay flat and curled up on her side.

Though her body was exhausted and heavy with sleep, her mind couldn't help but rewind to yesterday.

Yesterday, while standing on the curb outside her hotel, she had run into Yasmine Calloway, the client representative for Timefly Studio.

The client was a small company, and Suzie had been hired to shoot a series of still lifes for them. Yasmine was around Mia's age—a recent college grad hustling to make a living in the city.

Yasmine had stayed on set throughout the shoot, and over time, the two had gotten somewhat familiar.

When they bumped into each other outside the hotel, Yasmine had been juggling a stack of folders. Her phone had suddenly gone off, causing the papers to slip from her grasp and scatter across the pavement.

As Suzie helped gather them, a proposal caught her eye. It was for a commercial shoot in Timberwood Town.

While drafting the business plan for her new studio, Suzie had envisioned traveling to Timberwood Town to build her portfolio. It wasn't a modern replica; it was an authentic, historical settlement that retained its original architecture. Because of its cultural significance, access was strictly managed, and it remained only semi-open to the public.

Getting in required serious connections and a long waitlist for a reservation. It was notoriously difficult to book.

While most photographers went there to shoot standard architectural portfolios, Suzie had a different vision. She wanted to shoot a narrative-driven, classic black-and-white series set in that specific era.

She planned to use that unique aesthetic to launch her new studio's brand.

Naturally, Suzie asked a few questions. That was how she found out Yasmine's company had somehow secured the rights to shoot there and was heading out to scout the location.
