Served with Effort

Description

Areta walks into the dining room, stomach growling and eyes searching the table—but there’s no food in sight. Frustrated, she calls out for Nicole, who casually explains that lunch isn’t ready yet. The answer doesn’t sit well. With a sharp glance and playful defiance, Areta decides that if Nicole wants to talk about effort, she’s going to feel it. In a sudden shift of control, Nicole finds herself hoisted onto Areta’s shoulders, breathless with surprise. Step by step, Areta makes her point clear, sometimes, real service means carrying more than just the weight of expectation.
