By Jenny Ford
Jenny sighed as she hung up the telephone, looking thankfully at the clock which finally registered closing time. What a day it was! First the computer system broke down, and naturally everyone was asking her when it was going to finally be up and running once more. After the tenth phone call to the IT people, she could hardly blame them for being impatient with her, but really, did they need to be quite so rude? Thank goodness things were up and running after lunch!
But then Sonia had called in sick (again!) and so Jenny was left having to do the work of two individuals. What was it about Mondays that made people feel they needed to demand everything be finished, like, yesterday? Plus, both Mark and Tom were at it again, each telling her that their project was of top priority, and putting Jenny in the hard position of having to choose which required her attention the most. Sometimes office politics could be so tiresome.
Picking up her bag and switching off the light, Jenny headed for the lift.
What a relief it was to see the reminder on her calendar that today she had a teeth whitening appointment at White Smile Parnell. This was her third time back, and even though it felt like an extravagance, it was something she treated herself to every once in awhile. She remembered her very first appointment, and how uncertain she felt before going in - she wasn’t sure exactly what to anticipate?
What would the outcome be?
Would this be worth it?
Will it hurt?
But she remembered that Leanne had been really welcoming and friendly, she remembered laughing after just a couple of minutes of meeting her.
She even remembered the experience after that first treatment –
She had stopped at the diary to get some milk.
The friendly owner chatted away as normal, but when Jenny smiled at something she said, the owner all of a sudden stopped and gazed at her, baffled.
"Did you get a haircut, or something? There’s certainly something different…you look so…so…sparkly today!"
Jenny merely smiled and shrugged, but she knew it had to be the bright smile she had flashed.
Had Jenny realized what a change the teeth whitening treatment would make to her appearance as well as her feelings of confidence she would have started going a long time ago!
Jenny made her way along Parnell High Street, feeling fortunate that her destination was one that promised enjoyment rather than responsibility and soon enough she reached the door of 135 Parnell Rise.
She sighed in anticipation as she paused at the door, imagining the feeling of sanctuary and relaxation she was soon to experience.
Walking up the stairs to the White Smile office, Jenny was pleased to catch sight of Leanne as soon as she walked in the door. "Hello, Jenny! How wonderful to see you again" Leanne said as Jenny walked in. "It will be merely a few minutes; why don’t you make yourself comfortable while you wait?"
Settling into the big, sufficiently cushioned sofa in the waiting area, Jenny breathed in intensely and reveled in the feeling of being taken care of, instead of needing to respond to the needs of others. She picked up a magazine and thumbed through it nonchalantly, enjoying the chance to relax. She had just completed perusing an article about the hottest fashion trends when Leanne cheerfully announced it was her turn.
"So how’s your day been?"
"Its just starting to get better," Jenny laughed, comfortably easing herself back into the spacious leather chair.
"Ok then," Leanne said. "Let us help the day finish on a good note."
"Are you ready?"
"Sure Am" replied Jenny.
Leanne handed her a pair of tinted glasses, and Jenny put them on her face, relaxing further into the chair. Leanne put in the retainer and finished the few preparation steps to get Jenny all set for her treatment.
"Okay," Leanne said quietly. "I am just going to move the machine into place here. You just keep sitting comfortably while it works its magic."
Jenny knew when the machine was turned on, but she just lay there with her eyes closed. Breathing deeply, she felt the stresses of the day fall away as she imagined her teeth gradually transforming into a something that will give her a gleaming, natural-looking smile.
The cold, blue light used at White Smile Parnell had originally made Jenny skeptical during that first treatment, because it felt as if nothing at all was happening. But when Leanne showed the before and after comparisons to Jenny she was surprised - the transformation in such a short time period was fantastic - with so very little effort too!
So now she knew that although it seemed that little was actually happening to her teeth, great changes were taking place even as she lay in the chair.
Jenny was a bit amazed when Leanne came and removed the machine, saying, "Let us have a look at your lovely new smile shall we?"
It had just been 36 mins - how the time flys.
"Am I really finished already? Can’t I lay here for just a little bit longer?"
Jenny, practically hesitant to leave the comfortable chair, slid out of the chair and had a look at the results - she got precisely what she’d hoped for - a smile which was truly visibly different than when she’d arrived.
As she left the White Smile Parnell office, Jenny walked with an extra little spring in her step and felt as if she was looking out at the world with a new feeling of cheerful calmness.
Jenny smiled to herself, and it appeared as if everyone was smiling back at her as she made her way down the busy street.
"What a great way to finish the day" Jenny thought to herself.
Even though the results lasted for a long time, Jenny had already decided she would be returning when the time came.
Thinking of it, she smiled.
