Well...that's where my thought process was coming from because I don't think I can spend time with her without paying her.

She gets paid by the hour. She didn't get paid not only for the time she was with me, but for the time she didn't have other clients because we had no idea how long the whole thing would take.

But Stop has changed my mind on this and I will respect T's boundary.

Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks (me...no reference to Stopdog's age )
