Overview: All Callie, all Arizona, all the time. The setting is Miami, for all intense purposes the history of the Characters will slightly parallel that of the series, in such as Arizona is an Army Brat, and Callie, well she eats her hair.
Chapter Two: "Where there is smoke there is fire"
Chocolate orbs stared down into the white porcelain sink watching as the water spilled down and swirled as it hit the basin and flowed down into the drain. Callie tried to pull herself together, not even one whole day in to the new school year and she was already proving that she was as pathetic as she was last year. Not that this year should be any different, but this year unlike last year had cobalt blue eyes and dimples. Oh those dimples and that laugh, and how she was able to just talk. The raven haired Latina looked up into the mirror and sighed. "Why can't you just be like her?" She mused to herself and then splashed some cold water onto her heated cheeks.
As Callie continued to try and pull herself together the toilet flushed in the ghostly quiet bathroom startling the brunette. Callie ducked her head down to hide her reddened eyes from the mysterious onlooker that would soon be coming from the stall. As she suspected a girl emerged and stepped up next to her to use the other sink. Hair flowed as the Latina exhaled the lump in her chest that she had been holding for what seemed to have been hours.
"Hey Cal." The blinding white smile reflected in the mirror that Callie was currently looking into from behind her security mane.
"Hey Addi." The young woman replied in kind. Turning she leaned her backside on the edge of the sink and fixed her hair.
The redhead was fixing her perfect hair and then looked at her friend with a quizzical lift of her eyebrow. "What's up?"
The junior chanced a glance in the redhead's direction and was rewarded with kind eyes. Addison Montgomery and Callie Torres had grown up together. Well close enough, Addison's father had teamed up with her father for the biggest merger on the East coast, which lead to the Torres and Montgomery children being pushed into a friendship. One she initially had protested but once she realized that Addison was pretty cool and funny Callie laid off and they became pretty tight.
"Come on Cal, I know that face. Something happened." The redhead urged. Callie just continued to look at her, not knowing really where to begin. Should she being with the part about the amazing blond in her public speaking class, or maybe the part where she almost blew chunks on the twisted sisters, right in front of previously mentioned amazing blond. Maybe she should even throw in there how she thought that her possible social life was now over, she was a freak, a freak and a hair eater. A freak hair eater, who also had braces and couldn't even talk for a minute without blowing her Caesar salad all over anyone in spewing distance.
Callie took another breath and sighed. "It's okay Addi. It's nothing really." She laughed and then looked up to the ceiling and dabbed under her eyes. "Just another year at suck high, and I am the star doofus."
Concerned blue grey eyes watched as her friend continued her internal battle. Addison side stepped in front of Callie and also began to dab under her eyes to clear the unshed tears threatening to crumble her friend at any moment. When she finished wiping away those nasty tears, the red head reached into her make up bag and pulled out her eye liner and began to hide away the puffy swelling.
"Is it a boy?" The redhead questioned as she moved on to add some cover up that she kept in her bag for moments like this when Callie had a panic attack at school, the mall, or just anywhere. Callie laughed again and sucked in a deep lungful of air. The snot collecting in her nose from crying made a very unsexy sound. "No." she whispered.
"A girl?" Addison chanced.
"I'm fine Addi." Callie tried to appease her friends' curiosity but also she didn't really want to talk about it.
With a deep sigh Addison packed up the little pieces of makeup that she had dug out. Dusting off her hands she then placed them on Callie's shoulders and bent her knees so that she was looking the brunette in the eyes. "Look Cal, I hate this. I never like seeing you cry. Just know, whatever this is, whoever this is. They don't deserve you. You are amazing, a little odd at times. But, that is what makes you, you. A unique and amazing, total rock star of a person." The red head gambled a smile and was rewarded with a little one in return. Not her friend's normal megawatt smile, but this was a start. The older girl placed her hands on Callie's cheeks and lifted her head.
The redhead leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on the Latina's lips and then leaned back. "Wanna go out later and grab a slice of pizza? My treat." The kiss was nothing more than a simple gesture of concern and love. This girl was like a sister, and she despised that everyone else wouldn't take the time to get to know this amazing and bubbly soul swimming around in this person.
"Pizza?!" With that the brunette perked up. No matter how sad, upset or anything nothing could stop Callie Torres from perking up when there was mention of pizza.
"Yea, I just have to do a few things before I leave here. There is this awesome new girl and I think she would be perfect for the team. Perky, blond – "
"Amazing dimples." Callie chimed in.
"Oh you know her?" Addison cocked her head and lifted an eyebrow again at the mysterious brain waves clicking around in that head.
A dreamy smile played over plump lips as she daydreamed back to when Arizona came over to her table and plopped right down introducing herself. Those dimples flooded her mind and all she could smell was freesia and coconut.
"Yeah." Callie said with a dreamy tone as her mind continued to play their little get to know you session.
"Uh huh. And…." The redhead was piecing it all together.
"And, she has this laugh. It's like heaven. Or a songbird. Yea a songbird singing a melody." Callie mused picturing nothing but Arizona.
"Songbird? Girl you have it bad." She clapped her friend on the back pulling Callie out of her trip to ArizonaWorld.
"Huh? What?" Callie stood there bemused for a moment until she realized she had basically drooled and fawned over someone she barely knew.
"So, I have to go." Addison grabbed her backpack and slung it over a shoulder. "You should come down to try outs, hang out and watch me whip the pledges into shape. It might put you in a better mood. We have another meet up on Thursday."
Callie chewed on her bottom lip revisiting her earlier thoughts about Arizona.
"Callie!"
"Huh? What? I'm Sorry Addison."
"Someone has a lusty wrong feelings crush." The redhead chuckled. "So, pizza, later, say around seven?"
"Uh yea, sure." Callie blushed and focused hard to pay attention to her friend.
"Alright, I'll see you then toots." Addison headed for the door and before stepping out she called back. "And Cal, when you come tonight, could you maybe uhm bring a bucket for that drooling issue you have?" Without a beat Callie blushed furiously and threw a wadded up paper towel at her friend, but the redhead had been too quick and it hit the closing door instead.
Red hair breezed like a cape as the tall senior hurried through to the quad. She had asked Arizona to meet here there at three thirty and here she was running behind. This was not the example she wanted to set as the Captain. In order to lead you had to set the example of for what to follow. She took a quick glance to her phone and noticed she was over fifteen minutes late, with a mumbled prayer to the heavens she kicked it into double time and sprinted towards the quad.
Rounding the corner to the green Addison sighed a breath of release when she saw blond hair siting down legs outstretched and a toned back stretching to touch her fingertips to her toes.
"Hey, sorry I'm late. Had a friend dilemma that I wasn't expecting. Hope you haven't been waiting here too long." With a heavy thud the Jansport bag hit the dirt of the track field portion and a small puff of a dust cloud smoked up."
"It's ok, I was a little late myself. Kinda had an issue in public speaking."
Addison chuckled and sat down next to Arizona mirroring her pose and stretching out her own muscles. "Oh?" She smiled her eyes glimmering in the sunlight as she peaked up to the blond. "Do you not like talking to crowds?"
Arizona smiled brightly and her dimples popped. "Not at all! But my class partner does. She was doing great, when we were at the table. I learned a lot of cool things about her. But, when we got up in front of the class, she tried and then the next thing I know she booked it right out the door. Had we been cartoons there would have been whoosh lines and her shaped hole in the door." She chuckled to herself imagining it.
Addison chuckled too because she could picture it as well. Not only could she picture it, but it actually had happened last year when she signed Callie up for the school musical. Addison had worked hard trying to build up Callie's self-esteem. She had spent weeks coaching her, holding her hair during her numerous conversations with a porcelain throne. But when the day came for try outs, Callie stood up there on the stage; the bright lights shining down and when Mr. Webber cued the music, Callie scrammed faster than a ham and missed the stage crew bringing out one of the props that happened to be painted like a wall and door slamming right through it.
"So then what happened?" Addison asked trying to feel out whether or not she might have a little spark for her Latina friend.
"Well, I went back to my seat and packed up. Couple more groups went and while I sat there waiting she never showed back up." Arizona looked a little off into the distance as she thought about it all. "I waited for her after class, that's why I was late by the way. But she never came back. Our teacher told me this is normal and that I shouldn't worry. But I just can't help it. She seems so awesome, and well I kinda feel a little bad that it happened."
Auburn eyebrows shot up in question, urging Arizona to continue. "Well, it was kinda my fault."
"Oh?" Addison felt her heckles begin to rise. This chick was talking about her best friend and sister.
"Yea, she told me she really didn't want to go first and basically pleaded that we go last and when Ms. Lawrence asked for volunteers my hand shot up. If I had known that she would react like that I would have waited. I know, I know I'm dumb because my first clue should have been that she really didn't want to go up there at all." Arizona stood and began to stretch her legs out more by spreading her legs as far as she could and touching the ground. "So, when we got up there I thought okay cool we are getting this over with, which is what I told her, better to do it first and get it out of the way than prolong the inevitable doom." She stood back up and stretched from side to side.
"So what you're saying is, you're and idiot who wasn't paying attention and then she freaked and bolted?"
Stopping all of her stretching Arizona thought about the question looking off at the football players doing their own drills and then looking back to Addison she smiled "Yea pretty much."
Addison laughed. "Don't worry about it. She will be ok."
Then Addison and Arizona lined up so that the blond could learn the routine for Thursday's tryouts. "How can you be so sure?" Arizona asked as she stood behind the tall captain.
"Well, that ma'am is top secret information." Addison supplied
"Top secret?" Arizona echoed.
"Yea, you know. The type of information that if I told you I would have to kill you, and burry your body in some kind of marsh or deep ocean." She teased. "And I really don't want to have to do that, I think between you and I. You're a shoe in for the team. You have the look, the pep and when I am done with you, you'll have the moves too."
"Well then Cap, you better get on this because sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake." They both laughed and Addison began to show her the basic moves that she would need to know for Thursday, from the steps the kicks to the flips.
After about an hour and a half the two girls were panting from the work out and the laughter. Both fell to the grass breathing hard and laying up looking at the clouds as the warm heat melted them.
"So, what are you doing after this?" Addison rolled to her side and propped herself up on an elbow.
"Ugh, I have to still unpack." She blew out a lungful of air which caused her bangs to whisper.
"Well how about this. I think you earned yourself a night off. You had your first day at a new school, you kicked ass at cheer practice, not saying you're on the team just yet. But I'm going with an all signs point to yes. And well I think you should come out tonight for a couple slices of pizza. It's gonna be me and my friend and I think you two will get a long great!"
"Yea? Who's this friend?" She too rolled to her side and propped herself up on an elbow.
"Callie Torres."
"Oh. My. God. Seriously?" The blond fell back to the grass and covered her face.
"Totally serious."
"Great, now I feel like an even bigger jack ass. You must think I am an awful person right now."
Addison chuckled. "Not even remotely close. Let me tell you about the time I signed Callie up to try out for the school musical."
Addison regaled Arizona with her version of what happened and when all was said and done the two were walking to the back lot where the students parked. Both actually happened to only be a few spots away from each other.
"So I'll see you tonight, seven?" The redheads eyes were shaded by some Chanel sunglasses that gave her this Audrey Hepburnish look.
"Maybe a little bit later than that. I still have to help the Colonel." Arizona saluted at the mention of her father.
Addison laughed. "Alright Ari, but don't be too long. The place starts to get packed around seven fourty-five.
With that the red head gave her a little wave and slid in behind the driver seat of her BMW. Starting her car and reversing back she leaned over into the passenger seat and looked up to the blond "And hey, whatever happens tonight, don't worry it isn't your fault." With that the red head sped off and was out of site in seconds.
Arizona stood there perplexed at why Addison would leave her with such a looming feeling of this doesn't sound like Callie will be all too happy to see her. Maybe the blonde's gut was right and she should have declined the invitation.
Sliding into her Jeep Wrangler, she sat for a minute pondering what Addison could have meant. Picking up her phone and looking at the display she debated on calling her new friend and cancelling but it dawned on her just a moment later. She didn't have her number.
It was just after seven when Callie walked into Pete's for her dinner with Addison. She looked around the already growing crowd for those familiar blazing locks. Scanning the crowd she saw a lot of people from school as well a few tourists.
Mark was in the corner playing one of the many pinball machines while she also saw the twisted sisters laughing over a pitcher of soda and a few slices of pepperoni. As she continued she finally landed on the person in question.
Addison was moving through the crowd carrying two sodas and she was heading to their regular table… or not. She stopped just shy and grabbed a booth instead. Hmm, that was odd. Shrugging the Latina shuffled over to the booth and smiled when her eyes met with Addison's.
"What's with the booth? We always sit at the table by the window. Its tradition." She grinned and took a seat in the secluded little nest.
"Oh I just thought this might be nice instead of our regular ho hum." The cheer captain returned the smile and took a sip of her soda. "Oh I grabbed you a drink too and our order is placed. Half garlic chicken and the other have the works." What Addison failed to mention was the size of that pie. She had discretely come early so that she could order without Callie getting suspicious and asking too many questions. With how the girl had acted earlier in the bathroom Addison was almost positive if she let Cal in on her secret invite too soon she would surely get spooked and dart out of there like her head was on fire.
"So anything new since I last saw you?" The red head teased and took another sip from her straw.
"Nope, still the freak hair eater with braced from earlier." She chuckled and looked around while her fingers beat out the tune playing in the restaurant on the table. "So how did it go with Arizona?" The brunette began to chew on her straw as she waited in anticipation for any details about her new favorite blond.
"Well, she did really well. She kept up with me and stumbled over the routine only a couple times. I think she is the winner Cal. Exactly what we need to send my last year out of her with a bang and straight to nationals." Addison was damn proud and could barely contain her grin.
"Speaking of Arizona. I think I see her over there." With that she stood from the booth and waved the woman over.
"Addison!" Callie squeaked in partial anger partial embarrassment. "What the hell are you doing?" She grabbed the other woman's shirt pulling her back down in hopes she had gotten to her friend in time before she was completely mortified by having to hang out with the amazing blond and probably end up barfing her entire pizza slices all over them.
"What the hell Callie!" Addison admonished. "It's pizza not like a marriage proposal. Sheesh, it's called branching out and making friends." Addison tried to keep a straight face; this was her entire plan after all.
"Who is getting married?" The blond leaned over the back of the booth propping herself against it and giving a smile to Addison and then looking down to Callie with an apologetic smile. "Hey, sorry about today. I really didn't know that you would get that nervous about speaking." She took the seat next to Callie and continued talking. "Swear I will never do that again." Blue eyes roamed over warm chocolate ones looking for some hope that this woman would forgive her.
"It's cool." Callie muttered. "Not like you were doing it on purpose."
Addison began to drum her fingers on the table and looked around for an exit strategy. Her plan didn't make it past just getting the two together. "Oh hey! Is that my handsome star quarterback over there beating the shit out of that pin ball machine?" She interrupted briefly to excuse herself. "I think I'm going to go see what all the commotion is about. You two have fun and save me a slice." Gracefully she slid from the booth and was gone before either woman could say anything. At that moment Arizona laughed and looked back to Callie. "She is good."
"She's good?" It was Callie's turn to copycat the blond.
"Yea. When I was learning the routine today I may have happened to accidently tell Addison about the incident in public speaking today. And well I think maybe she just wanted to make sure that we're cool." Arizona mentally smacked herself. Why would it matter if they were cool? They barely knew each other.
"That's Addison. She's my protector." Callie said softly chuckling to herself and taking a sip off the soda.
"Protector huh? And why would an amazing girl like yourself need a protector?" Arizona leaned in just a little more to Callie and ebbed on invading her personal space. "Are you in the witness protection or something?" She chortled at her own little joke hoping it wasn't lost on the brunette.
"Something like that." Callie smiled a little warming up to the woman next to her.
"Oh? And Ms. Torres is your protected name?" She smiled and leaned a little closer.
"Hmm. Oh uh." Callie blushed and took another sip while speaking around the straw. "Well no, but maybe-"
Arizona saw the girl begin to faultier and she toned down her flirting just a notch also adding. "Well I think Calliope Torres is a beautiful name. You shouldn't hide something or someone so beautiful as a Calliope Torres." She smiled again letting those killer dimples pop as she stole the drink from the Latina and took a sip of her own as she leaned back into the booth.
With Arizona's compliment Callie blushed a furious tomato red and pulled into herself a little as she chuckled with embarrassment.
Addison had just walked up behind Mark when she heard his muttered curses over the pinball machine.
"Having troubles?" She asked while looking at him try to maneuver the silver barring around the maze of plastic smackers and holes.
"Yes, this damn game keeps cheating." He says in a low gruff.
"What seems to be the problem?" She asks getting interested in how a pinball game could possibly cheat.
"Well the thing is Red, I keep pulling the stick over here back and the ball launches but it keeps gutter balling out." He says as if it's so obvious.
"Did you try pressing the buttons on the side?" Addison chuckles and watches as realization hits him dead in the face.
Not wanting to look like a complete idiot Mark laughs in a deep baritone. "Of course I did, I told you this game is cheating." He huffs and kicks the leg while walking off to find something else a little more easily to amuse himself with. Addison follows and chuckles. "You didn't know about the buttons did you?"
"Of course I knew about the damn buttons Addison, I'm not a complete Neanderthal." The cheer captain laughs a little bit more knowing that he was full of shit.
"Alright Mark, the game was cheating. So you wanna play a round of mini golf?" She asks hoping that he wouldn't be too hurt, and if he was she could let him win by 'missing' the hole too many times.
The tall man grumbled softly but finally caved when he saw that killer smile looking back at him. As they went to pay for a round, Addison slowed near Meredith and leaned in, knowing that she was the more compassionate of the twisted sisters.
"Hey could you keep an eye on Cal for me? I kinda set her up with the new girl and well-"
Meredith smiled up to the woman and gave her a nod. "Yea I was there for that." She waved the other woman on. Christina though hadn't heard what was said between the two and looked to her friend with a 'what was that about' look.
"She wants us to keep an eye on Torres, she is playing matchmaker."
Christina thought about it for a bit. Watching as some of the teaching staff entered the building and then looked back to Mer shocked. "Torres is gay?!"
"I don't know, but by the looks of it she is really into the new girl." She watched as Callie leaned a little more into Arizona's personal space and laughed. She had never really seen Torres laugh like that before; no one had ever made her that happy. Well maybe they had, but Meredith had never taken the time to really talk to the raven haired Latina. The most she knew about her was she worked in the Student Store, she was on the soccer team and one time she auditioned for the school musical but backed out and ran right into a prop and broke it.
"I thought she was with that goofy kid in Tech club.. What was his name?" Christina tried to pick the name from the air as she couldn't recall anyone's name.
"George." Meredith stated sadly. "He was a great guy. Not too suave but he was really nice." She smiled thinking about a few of their encounters.
"Oh that's right!" Christina said loudly, "Callie O'Malley, HA! She will never live that one down."
"Christina." Meredith said with a low warning tone.
"What!? She won't." The Asian woman stated mater of factly and took a drink while looking around for something else to talk about.
Meredith left it alone and instead decided to watch the two in the secluded booth. She longed for something that simple. But for her, and since she was the principal's daughter it was a little more difficult for her. Not to mention the fact she had the biggest crush on her science teacher, Mr. Shepard.
From across the restaurant, Meredith saw for the first time what so many other people missed about Callie Torres. She is warm, bubbly and had a killer smile. Maybe she wasn't all that bad to begin with.
A loud shouting pulled most of the patrons from their conversations. "This game is a damn cheat!" The man stated barreling through the door. "I can't believe someone would rig a freakin slushy!" Addison and Mark had gotten to the final hole in the mini golf course, and if you could make it in one hit, directly in the center hole you would win a free slushy. Of course his bounced off the side wall and went straight into the dark murky waters of the castle moat.
"Oh come on Mark, it's just a game." Addison tried to placate the angry quarterback.
"No it's not Addison, can't you see! Its freakin rigged I'm telling you. That slushy should be mine." He huffed and whined.
Callie and Arizona though had missed the entire scene. They were too enthralled by one another to ever let the conversation ebb into silence, well that was the case after a little bit of flirting by Arizona.
As the two sat munching on the now luke warm pizza, they were both aching from the laughter. Neither one had noticed that a very familiar pair of bluish green eyes were watching them and sneaking a piece of chicken garlic pizza.
"So how's it going?" She says around a bite of pizza.
"Jesus Christ!" Callie shot upright and stiffened.
"I've told you Cal, Addision is just fine." She laughed and took another bite of her favorite pie."
Arizona simply laughed and laid a warm hand on Callie's wrist to sooth the shaken woman.
Breathing deeply, Callie calmed her nerves. Also the hand on her wrist helped a lot too. "Sorry, you just scared me. Make a noise next time or clear your throat or something." She slightly pouted, which Arizona found completely endearing.
"I just wanted to let you know that Mark and I are heading out. Did you still need me to give you a lift home?" She snatched a couple more slices for the road and wrapped them in a napkin as she waited for Callie's answer.
Arizona though was pleading to whatever gods above that her night with Callie wouldn't end just yet. She begged, bartered and well she didn't steal but hey, she would if it meant more time with the enchanting Latina.
"uh…" Callie looked between the two.
Seeing the hesitation in those doe eyes Arizona spoke up first. "It is kinda late Callie, maybe we could hang out again another time?" She was still hoping that maybe this would work. "Besides I have a nice little walk. It was really nice to see you guys, and hey –" She paused as she got up looking over to Addison. "Thanks again for the invite." She smiled and looked to Callie. "See you in class tomorrow?"
Callie was feeling a bit empty at the loss of warmth from the blond "Yea, see you tomorrow Arizona." She never looked up and the blond left with a little sigh, and then it hit her. Arizona said invite, her blood began to boil and she looked at Addison with daggers. "Are you freaking kidding me?" She was so angry with her friend. She knew exactly what she was doing.
"So is that a yes?" Addison asks dismissing the question entirely as if Callie hadn't figured it out.
"No, it's a freakin no Addi. I told you what happened and you used that. I'll - I'll" Callie was so pissed she just tossed her hands up and sighed leaving a bemused Addison. Her plan was so working.
Callie hurried out of the pizza joint hoping that maybe she could catch up with the blond. As she came to the front she looked left and right but in either direction she didn't see the blond haired beauty anywhere. Sighing she looked again and kicked a couple of rocks.
"Well so much for that idea." She then took off walking towards her house.
As she sauntered in the dark Callie was captivated by the stars, and since she wasn't driving she didn't need to keep her eyes ahead. As she continued to walk she kept track of all the constellations she could remember. First was of course the little and big dipper followed by Scorpio and then Orion's belt. Callie was lost in her thought as she bumped into something which she completely knocked over with her.
"Omph." She said and then rolled and looked to see what she had knocked into. Laying there on the ground for a second was a dazed blond rubbing her head and shoulder.
"Hey, watch where you're going- Calliope?" She stopped mid-sentence when she realized it was her newly acquainted and fastly growing favorite new person.
"Arizona?" Callie squinted in the dark.
"What are you doing out here? I thought you were getting a ride from Addison." She was confused.
"Yea I was. But well- It doesn't matter. So what were you doing just standing there?" She asked getting up from the ground.
Arizona chuckled and blushed in her embarrassment. "I was looking at the stars."
Callie laughed while she dusted her pants off. "Me too." The two began to walk again, neither knowing they were both heading in pretty much the same direction. They walked chattering and laughing both never questioning if they were going the right direction.
A breeze began to pick up the later it got and Arizona just instinctively looped her arm with the Latina's and pulled her in close for the warmth.
"Callie?"
"Yea?"
"Where are we?" She asked confused at their new location. Looking around Callie recognized the area. It was about a block from her house. "Uhm about a block from my house." She laughed and looked down at the snuggled up woman next to her.
"Really?" Arizona jumped away and at first Callie thought she had offended the woman. "I live just a little bit down that way." She pointed off in the distance.
"Ha!" Callie laughed. "Well that way." She pointed in the same direction that Arizona had. "Is also where I live." Callie had to take a moment to laugh internally how ridiculous this all was. There was no way that this was happening. It couldn't be.
"Im on Courtland, what about you?" Arizona asked while pulling the brunette close again for the warmth.
"Palisade" Content with what Arizona wanted they continued to walk arm in arm, but that was short lived as Arizona pulled away and stopped walking. "Well this is me." She said a little sullenly.
"Oh, this used to be the McKenzie house. I heard it was haunted or something."
"Callie…" Arizona pleaded.
"No really, I heard that when Ms. McKenzie passed away, her spirit stayed and -" A warm hand clamped over the plump lips and Arizona looked at her with pleading blue eyes. "Please. That stuff scares me, and unless you're going to stay and keep the monsters away I have to go in there and sleep alone."
Callie thought about that for a moment, she would have totally jumped at the thought if well, she hadn't just met Arizona, and well if she thought she were half serious and not just teasing. Each girl said their goodnights and Callie walked away sighing softly and replaying everything about tonight on repeat in her mind.
