>"It wouldn't be such a problem. We can make things right with Priscilla, and it's a big mansion, I could see to it that you and Nikki don't cross paths. If you ever want to."But she remembers Sola's expression when she tore up the contract, and realizes it might take more convincing than she's prepared to offer. There's a set of footsteps nearby, and Colby jumps and looks to the side to see who it is, then feels a rush of relief when she sees it's not Carmody. This may not work out today, and may not work out ever, depending on what Carmody tells Sola when they see each other.
>"But let's visit or do lunch sometime, anyhow. I sent you some texts last night, if you haven't seen 'em; hope we got that old misunderstanding about the phone numbers cleared up, but if they didn't come through let me know, okay? I feel like we've got a lot to talk about. And there's something pretty cool I wanna tell you about, just not like this, right here, first thing in the morning before your training."Colby smiles awkwardly, then steps back.
>"Anything I can do for you, just let me know, okay? Even if that's just to talk your ear off while you catch up on laundry.">"And, uh, not to put this off on you, but look out for Carmody if you can. She's put a lot of pressure on herself just now and doesn't quite realize what she's done. We argued some about it yesterday, and I can tell there's a lot weighing on her. She..... well, she tries to give off this cool, confident persona, but sometimes she can exaggerate things too, or blow 'em out of proportion. I worry about her, and what she's got herself into. I'm gonna try and talk to Priscilla too.">"And take care of yourself too now, all right? I'll see you around soon."With that, Colby turns to depart.
