An exhale of relief as she finishes washing her face in the club changing room, patting it dry and checking the time. "Shoot." She quickly starts to speed up, discarding her club bra and booty shorts into her gym bag and changing them out for wide legged linen pants she'd dyed rusty orange and a crop top to beat the Las Vegas night at its own game.
"Nina!" Her stage name is called from the door as she finishes clipping her hair in place with a claw clip, head turning towards the door. "Mr. Weiss is here for you?" The young man, new to the club but not to Vegas, sounded worried. Concerned even. Sophia just smiled, giving a nod. "I'll be right out! Thank ya honey!" She calls with a slow drawl, finishing shoving outfits into her bag, slathering on one more layer of sandalwood-scented deodorant, and slipping her Birks on to go meet Edward.
Sophia emerges from the back moments later, spotting Edward at the back entrance where they'd exchanged secrets only weeks ago. Fitting they'd be taking off out that door together. "Hey! Sorry if you were waiting long. I took longer than I thought I would." She closes the door and latches it, leading the way down the rickety steps.
She could've called Soleil, she would've called Susan, she would've called any of her friends but it seemed more fitting to have a male escort her home. Someone more intimidating. Was it subconsciously an excuse to talk to him again, this time completely off the clock and away from large groups? Potentially. She wasn't going to think about it that hard, she was just happy he answered at all.
"And thanks again for coming... I know it's late. It's not a far walk, though, promise." She looks up at him, a soft smile on her face.
