>>19614851In the gym, Carmody Jefferson pushes herself through a fierce workout regimen, striving to undo the past few days of ice cream, drunken depression, and indolence by pushing herself hard here. It doesn't work that way, of course, and she hates that her own poor self-control and reaction to the upsetting circumstances she encountered have thrown her off her game before such a big match. But no undoing the past. The only way forward is forward, and the future is looking bright with her own ray of sunshine.
Sola is confident, sexy, reassuring. Her presence and attitude have definitely made it easier for Carmody to rise up out of this latest slump. Of course, nothing is easy for long; Carmody knows this. They are about to have the hell kicked out of them tonight. But she's excited for the future, if they can stay on their current path.
During a break, she pulls out her phone and texts Priscilla Divine.
Text to Priscilla Divine:
>Hey Pris!>Can't wait to see you again at Cupid's Chokehold. Thank you SO much for being my wing girl on this "blind date" ;) She sure seems like a handful!>I've been talking to Sola and working out with her. She's in great shape. Phenomenal.>She's inspiring me. She makes me wanna be better, and shows me what's possible.>Been thinking about what you said, and hell yeah, I wanna train with you too.>After Cupid's Chokehold, let's make it happen.>I've been watching your match with Miss USA at JY&E.>And Colby's match w/her too, I guess.>It ain't gonna be easy but I've got a path forward. I know what I gotta do.>Well, first thing's first, let's get this one in the books, then we'll get in a workout session and I'll help you get another set of worn ring-gear to auction off! :P>See ya at Cupid's Chokehold!With that sent, Carmody finishes up her workout, touches Sola's sweaty shoulder lightly with a smile of affection, then begins her cooldown stretches and exercises. The time will be on them before long.
