RP: Going nowhere fast
Date: 09 December 2005
Characters: Parvati Patil
Location: Hammerside Fitness
Status: Public
Summary: Parvati needs to escape her own mind.
Completion: Incomplete?
One more step. Just one more.
She still didn't love this, but it was satisfying. It made her feel strong, even when her life felt out of her control.
Work had been a bit crazy, to be expected when the cold and flu season started up in earnest, but she didn't mind that.
Dean had been a little withdrawn lately, and she didn't know if it was too much work or something else. Maybe he was hurt by her parents' silence, too.
The lack of response from her parents was frustrating. It hurt more than she expected it to. Sometimes she wondered if maybe she could get past it. It was as if, by not acknowledging her relationship, they were negating it somehow.
Lavender and Padma seemed busy with their own lives, too. It was expected, but sometimes it was bewildering that she could go days without talking to one or the other of them.
Still, she had a lot to be grateful for, she thought. She woke up in Dean's arms every morning and hadn't had a nightmare in months.
Turning up the machine, she ran fast enough to where her mind couldn't think past the next step, and the next. Sweat poured down her face and trickled down her neck, but she didn't mind. It wasn't much, as victories went, but she would take it.
