@GrandByName — "i never take it off unless i'm sparring, so i don't know how i lost it . . ." hands shaking, she drops back down onto the bed and just stares at the locket. "thanks . ."
@GrandByName she turns, and her whole body visibly relaxes upon spotting the locket, a heavy sigh exiting her lips before she jumps off the bed and takes it from her friend, just holding it against her chest for a moment.
"i wasn't drunk," she says quietly, tears suddenly welling up. —
her head whips around so fast it causes her shoulder length hair to fan out behind her dramatically, and if she could stand without falling again, she’d be on him already. but she can’t, so she settles for scowling at him from across the room with the infamous ‘stark scowl’. —
finally grabbing hold of the soda, taylor crawls her way back onto her bed as callie speaks, rolling her eyes. she doesn’t, nor has she ever, liked darrien. and while she isn’t one that should be throwing stones, she knows that deep down he does not care for her friend the way —
— that callie thinks he does. he’s using her, whether it be a quick slate of his lust or something else, but she’s far too blind to see it, so all taylor can do is watch.

“ or, option dos, ” she’s holding up three fingers, happy reaching for the smoldering piece of what’s left. she has more, but she’s saving that for after her next fighting class with natasha romanoff.
