>>19627809>[There's no need to explain what happened yesterday.]Sola lost.
But the pain in her neck and the pain that shoots up her left leg are nothing compare to the damage to her pride. Sola hadn't even changed out of her exercise gear yet, almost as if she wants to go back and continue hitting the heavy bag, tossing things around the 24-hour gym at the University Campus, keep sweating until every drop of failure had left her body. Until...
Sola recognises the tone in Carmody's voice. Her eyes widen. There's something mischievous coming, Sola knows it.
"I've never been."

"Let's do it. Letting off some steam, and messing some stuff up sounds pretty good right now. I bought a dress for... uh, a party I never ended up going to. Been meaning to try it on."
With a drive by kiss, Sola showers, finds her dress and for the first time in a long time, opens her make up case.
