Jennifer Butterfell sat in the passenger seat of her sisters Honda Accord. The car wasn't as comfortable as her Mercedes-Benz but Millie didn't earn as much. "Where are you taking me?" she asked her sister. She was already feeling out of place her sister dressed in charcoal sports pants and a pink running top, Jennifer in her usual two piece black business suit. Millie turned into an industrial estate and parks up. "What's here?" asked Jennifer
Millie smiles and points at a gym "this!"

Jennifer adjusts her black rimmed glasses "why are you showing me this?"

Millie turns around and fetches her Puma sports bag from the back seat "Because I want you to work out with me!"

"WORK OUT WITH YOU, LOOK AT ME, I look more like someone going to buy the gym than work out"
Millie opens the sports bag and places a sealed unopened track suit on Jennifer's knees "I got you this, it's a gift!"

Jennifer is stunned and almost speechless, she points at two slender women entering "Look at them, they'll think I'm going to eat them if I enter"

"Oh c'mon Jen, stop being such a whine, no one will be watching and no one cares!"

"Well I care, even looking at the gym is making me breathless, I haven't left the car and already I don't like it here!"

Millie rests her right hand on Jennifer's wide left thigh "Look Jenn, your breathless walking a flight of stairs, I know your not the most sporty-"

Jennifer grunts "say that again, I don't have the time for gym everyday!"

Millie sighs "you don't need to, at least you can try one or two days and get more walks in, for once invest in yourself".

Jennifer half smiles "Fine, your right!"
