Another Casino Mess

Alicia’s POV

“Ugh,” I groaned as I closed the book I had been reading for the second time.

I had been trying to not give into the abject boredom that I felt but it was becoming harder and harder to do so.

“Come on, what else can I do?” I wondered aloud, staring at the closing as I laid on the couch in the living room.

Was this how life would become now?

Because I had no work to revolve my life around, the days slowed into a dismal crawl.

Maybe I could get my job back?

Or actually entertain the idea of asking Acker and Mikael to go to college? They would support me right? They were not good men but… they couldn’t be that terrible.

I felt I was beginning to lose it.

Blinking slowly at the ceiling I decided I needed a change of environment.

Sharply i got up and stretched my hands above my head with a wince. I should REALLY become more fit. Magda had commented once on how unfit I was but now I could feel it. Just a couple days of jogging and my body already ached fully from the workout.
