Taealdi for Darla
Darla is Lizzie's Literary Agent, but also her closest friend. She's career minded, independent, and straight forward, but also empathetic. She's trying to be supportive for her friend who has been struggling for months, but also wants to motivate her most lucrative client to get back to work.

"Hey! Stop it. This is going to work, ok? You are still Elizabeth Douglas. With one of the best-selling Young Adult Fantasy series in the last decade. One poorly received book doesn’t change that, ok?"
