Her mother would not hear of her going in until she had satisfied herself that the hypnotherapist was competent and would treat Abi properly. Abi looked at her mother and wondered just what being ‘treated properly’ meant.But further argument and speculation became irrelevant when the hypnotherapist’s secretary called for Abi to go in only for her mother to make it very clear that she wished to speak to the hypnotherapist first and, before the secretary. ‘It needs to be a woman who’s got everything I’m looking for, doesn’t it?’ Kate nodded again, and felt suddenly nervous. What if he didn’t like her? What if she didn’t have what he was looking for? For a moment she wondered why she should care what he thought about her, but that thought seemed to melt away when she looked at his eyes again.

I assumed that it was as a result of her accidentally pulling it down when she went to the loo. Strangely none of her friends told her that her slip was showing and so once her slip was on display it stayed in sight until the next break.One particular week the pattern of Brenda showing slip changed. The occasional became regular.Each day of the week Brenda arrived at school showing her.
