You're right. The other client might not be paying. But the chances are high that she will get more than $0 by scheduling that appointment. And no, it's not just about money. I know. And yes, I know I could have vetoed it. But that would have been incredibly selfish. And I don't put my needs above the needs of someone else. I already told her as soon as I got the text that it would be fine. I knew I would never say anything different.
