"So," Liz started, her voice now weaker than it already was before the night started. "Ready to talk about it?""As ready as I'll ever be."Heather nursed what she counted to be her 5th glass as she contemplated on how to break the news that she actually went on a date last night. While the two older women were people that she could trust with her life if push came to shove, she didn't exactly want the endless teasing that would undoubtedly spring forth from the discussion the next time they met up again."Promise me both that you'll never make fun of what I'm about to say." The redhead demanded, but she knew deep inside that she's pleading more than anything."Of course." Soap affirmed, a serious tone coloring her voice.

"Heather.""Dio."The spectacled teacher found the man waiting by the school gates. He wore a leather black blazer on top of a wine red polo, accompanied with black slacks and shiny black shoes. His eyes were still as unsettling as ever; seemingly undressing her from her humble white jacket and teacher's uniform."W-what do you want?" Damn, why did she always found herself stuttering in front of this man?"A second chance," Dio stated as if it was a basic fact in the world. "A chance to prove my worth to you.""W-Worth?""Yes," The COO reiterated with conviction. "I consider you a once in a lifetime opportunity, Heather. I'd be remiss if I simply let you go after just one less than stellar evening."The redhead felt her body heat up in response to the s
