after the "engagement party"...
::Craven had said that she was tired, but it wasn't entirely true. Okay, she was tired, but that hardly meant that she would be going to sleep anytime soon. There was way too much to think about. She avoided eye-contact with herself in the bathroom mirror, cupping both of her hands together under the warm, running water. She shut her eyes and moved her face closer to the sink, rubbing both hands and splashing the water over her face. She turned away, opened her eyes and grabbed a towel from the rack, drying it afterwards. Short, choppy blonde hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and she tugged her black hoodie back on over the beater she was wearing. The apartment Niles had gotten for the two of them was even smaller than the last one, but it was still breezy. Instead of heading for her room, though, she decided to head out for the balcony. She always liked looking into the other windows of buildings, seeing the glow of a TV set or the curtains drawn. Maybe imagining the lives of other people could keep her mind from racing. She pulled up the hood after gently easing the sliding glass door open and closed; it was so small that a chair couldn't even fit out, so instead she leaned against the railing. Her head canted a bit, trying to not focus on rethinking the night's events and put her energy into what show the weirdos across the street were watching.::
