“Dan, I used to have this job... it was weird...”
“Weirder than you already are?”
“Shut it! This is serious.”
“I bet, Arturo.”

“Oh, dang, I’m sorry. Just tell me. Please.”
“When we moved from Bogota, I was very young—maybe about six, and it was in Florida, and we lived there up until I was twenty-two. After I turned eighteen, I used to go to these clubs, and wear my pumps. Sometimes I’d wear my friend’s clothes. Blouses, or cute button ups. This one time, I was wearing my red heels… only that but I had my regular clothes on. And this man approached me with an offer. It was for a very affluent and professional brothel… one that gave in to different types of tastes and proclivities. Not usually sex.”
“What kind of things? If... if you don’t wanna say… it’s okay...”
“I don’t mind… Just weird rich people that liked men dressed up in really pretty clothes and silks and… they liked oddities, like bearded women with soft hair, to touch their beards… and just… interesting things. I’d dance… I’d get people who just wanted to hold me. Just things like that.”
“Hmm. That doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Yeah. But... I had to run out one day. That’s why I came to New York.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“The man who convinced me into the whole business was a… cartel. He wanted me to get into that whole thing… and he wasn’t taking no for an answer.”
“So you got the hell outta dodge.”
“Yeah. My parents are still in Florida. But my two older brothers, Jorge and Carlo, live in other states doing their own thing.”
“Seems better now to be in boring customer service, huh?”
“Much better. But I’d like to get into design. I’d like to make a general brand of clothing. Inclusive, comfortable.”
“That would be so dope.”
“And you?”
“Hmm. Haven’t thought about it, maybe I will decide after my retirement. But, I do love being with you. Maybe I’ll be a cook, or something.”
“You got the talent, after-all. From your mama.”

Secret confines
I feel like a fool. Worse than a fool. Beyond a shadow of a doubt I am the stupidest, most idiotic, most dumb, most—- You get the idea. I won’t get up to face the day anymore. I know everyone has tried so hard to help me, cheer me up. The problem is, I refuse to be cheered up. I really hate that feeling because Humboldt cheered me up for anything.

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.

So no pictures either, just the words, ok, so this is how its done.
As a deleted scene, this works well as character enrichment rather than plot propulsion. It deepens motivation and emotional stakes without overstaying its welcome.
wow
