Yeah, six months. I think it's so long so that they hope that people will forget that someone paid for it and then they don't need to actually you know, provide the services that someone paid for. [It wasn't that Alex had done it more than a few times in the past, it was that Alex had actually done it a lot in the past. Even cleaning out her bag here she'd found gift cards for several restaurants and bookstores back home that had probably been sitting there since her last birthday.]

Sooner is definitely good. It's sandal weather, and I would like my toes to look in tip-top shape. [Granted, Alex was already wearing said strawberry sandals, but it didn't hurt to have them cleaned up anyway.]

Sure, I could do that! Do you want to grab coffee or dinner or something before then? I mean since it's on the way anyway.
