One is the wine racing through her body, making her feel as warm and liquid as the pool. Then there are curiosity, desire, and..... yes, that is certainly JEALOUSY, looming large. All of it is shrouded in a cloak of uncertainty.
Should she be surprised?
Her mind flashes back to kissing Amy earlier today.
Then it flashes back to earlier, and the voice of Hailey Brittania booms inside her head, as loud and clear as it had been hours ago, thundering over the rush of her own blood in her ears:
>I DON'T BELONG HERE>BUT ASK YOURSELF>DO YOU BELONG HERE TOO?Colby fills her wine glass to the brim, and then drinks it like a shot. Several seconds pass, and she realizes Nikki Kade is there, watching her. She needs to act like a normal person.
>"It-it's been a wonderful time! I've gotta go inside and check on something real quick."SMOOTH.
