Debs was a perfect student. It made Liv feel great to help her. She loved being able to help people. It made her feel valuable. At home, she just felt used, not needed for being her. Just needed because they relied on her. She felt free here, free from being responsible for others, but also guilty because she was enjoying having some space to herself, some time to free up her head and think about other things than her family. She felt bad because she was really enjoying it.

‘I’m so bloody proud of you, Debs. I really am.’

‘I’m feeling pretty proud of myself right now. I can’t believe I did that.’

‘You did so well. You’re not as unfit as you thought you were. Each day, you can do a bit more and keep building, until eventually you’ll be doing more running than walking and there’ll be no stopping you.’

‘And it’s so much easier when you breathe too.’

They both laughed as they walked through the front door. Samantha was just walking through to the lounge area and looked most surprised to see Debs with Liv.

‘I’m helping Debs start to run,’ Liv explained.

‘That’s really nice of you to say so, ladies, but I think you’re overselling me. I’m nowhere near good enough to teach people. Might be something to think about, though. I could train to do something like that. I’m going up for a shower, see you in a bit. I’m starving now. Ready for breakfast.’

As Liv slathered herself in her Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia shower gel that she’d treated herself to at the airport, she mulled over what Samantha and Debs had said. Perhaps there was something in it. She loved to help people. She’d always loved helping people to choose clothes, too, when that had been her job. Perhaps she could help people transform themselves. She’d always loved helping people to choose clothes too. Maybe she could mix being a helping hand to someone to keep fit or lose weight, or both, with helping them revive their wardrobes or make shopping decisions. The more she thought about it, the more she liked it. She’d run it by the girls over breakfast and see if they had any bright ideas.

And, oh boy, did they have ideas! Over endless cups of freshly ground coffee, warm croissants and fresh fruit and yoghurt, her friends inspired her further. Fiona suggested that Liv became a
