To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Acerola was back.
Acerola knew how this would go. She'd walk up to that door, duffel bag in hand, she'd open it up to Cassidy's smug face, and he'd quip something like, back in the saddle again, eh?
You know what! Yeah! She was! Because! Sometimes! Life is a rodeo! And you've got an amateur horse!
Or something like that. That was a pretty good one, thought Acerola.
The three-eyed woman didn't know where to start. She paced around on the deck of the familiar home, nothing but the clothes on her back and a sack of miscellaneous objects to her name. Curses. She'd spent all the money she made off those workout DVD's on a scam once again. Rendered penniless! In moments! Life didn't favor people like her. The adventurous (stupid) types!
Regardless, Acerola needed a place to stay. So, she was, once again, back at her ex's house.
She forgot how many times this exact situation had played out before. It'd be fine for a while, they'd fight over something small, she'd storm off and leave, wander the globe like a maniac for a while, and inevitably find herself back here. Dammit!
So, she couldn't just walk in the door. No, she needed to think of something quippy to say once he opened up, because if he said something quippy, and she didn't have a response, she'd be absolutely beyond furious.
That's why she was pacing on the deck, talking to herself.
"Lucky you, huh? Horses return to their owners...?" Acerola cringed. No, that was weird. And demeaning. To herself.
"You've got one left in the chamber...?" No, that wasn't right either.
"I thought you might be getting lonely all by yourself, so I came back!" Yeah! Perfect!
Little did Acerola know that she was being very loud. So loud, in fact, that she'd be completely audible to anyone inside the home.
