Aphrodite had done a lot of stretching lately. These days, her body seemed tense all the time, and no matter what she did she couldn’t get rid that seemed to reside deep within her bones. There was too much to think about. The training scores, the arena, the couples, the interviews, V, her own anger. She didn’t know how it had managed to creep inside her, but it had disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. She was glad to see the back of it.
Her arms stretched high above her head, standing on her tiptoes as she attempted to rid of all the tension in her muscles when she was all of a sudden interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
Her head turned towards the door to see who it was.
“Oh, hey,” she said, casually, continuing her stretch and letting out a groan before she released it. “I haven’t seen you in a while.”
