>>18540204>[Sola thinks back to her meeting with Nikki in the park. Ironically, if Sola had won the qualifying match beforehand, maybe Nikki would still be champion, or at least maybe wouldn’t have been pinned.]“No, Nika hasn’t really”--

>[Thankfully, Carmody has begun to rant, where she perhaps accidentally confirms Sola’s suspicions that she is Colby’s sister. Sola can’t help but think, Colby is kind of cute, but Carmody is just - wow. The younger Jefferson catches Sola staring and clearly misinterprets the look, and apologises.]“No, that’s not -- it’s fine. Colby actually, um, hasn’t replied to me, either. She gave me her number and just ghosted me. But it’s fine. I actually -- um, if I’m honest, I’ve come to expect it from all of *them*. But Nika is a different kind of beast to Colby... or Amy, or Nikki. Or Priscilla. Or Sap--"
>[Oh.]“No, but it’s fine. Hey, um, this might be a bit forward of me, but... if you wanted someone to look out for you in the match against Sue, I could come with you to the ring? All cool if not, I know you want to make this work on your own and stuff. Actually, forget I said anything. I’ll probably just make it worse for you.”
>[PANIC.]
