Ace was in his office installing a component into the big blue cabinet when Larry came up from behind.
"Ace!," declared Larry, "Buddy!"
Ace turned slightly, "What do you want now, Larry?"
"I'm going to be negotiating a big contract with a client. Can you entertain her granddaughter for a bit?"
Ace turn further, "Larry this is not a day-!" He stopped.
Larry was already half out the door, gesturing toward a svelte redhead, she wore a blue gray blouse that exposed her midriff and a black miniskirt that was split along the left thigh. She stood defiantly, fists poised on her hips.
"Maddie," said Larry, "this is Ace, no last name. Ace this is Maddie Cartman. You kids have fun. No one will notice if the door is shut for half an hour or more. Wink wink!"
With the door shut, Ace opened with an eloquent, "Um ..."
"Don't get your hopes up," said Maddie.

Yeah… I think a lot of early readers wondered if you were making her overly thin and bony on purpose, or just aiming at “attractive female model” and missing the target, or if “skeletal” met your own personal definition of attractive female.
Nope. Maddy’s model is working as intended. You see her as she’s meant to be seen.
