Evelyn was staring blankly up at the ceiling as she was thinking about what she was going to put herself through for months. Her night had been restless as she had been tossing and turning while thinking about every what if she could muster to think. When she finally got some sleep, it had been pretty light, and when she woke up again. It felt like no sleep at all. Evelyn had never really been the one to second guess something, but now she couldn't help but beat herself for accepting this mission.
With one last sight and turn, she was laying with her face to her window. The sun was beginning to go up over the opposite house's ceiling. At least it was good weather, she thought as she gave up her attempt to sleep. Forced her body to move out of the bed. She made her way around her small room to put on a pair of comfy pants and a big hoodie. The room was still clean but had two big bags full of all the stuff she thought would be necessary for her while she lived in the club.
Evelyn navigates her way out of her spotless room to walk into her even more spotless kitchen to make some coffee. The room was still pretty dark so the girl took out some matches to lit a candle standing at one of the corners of her counter. While the flame was moving Evelyn let her body go on autopilot to get the well-needed coffee ready.
Evelyn loved her kitchen but knew she was bad at using it as she often worked late hours. Working late often meant taking take away food, and that wasn't really cooking, even if it tasted delicious after a day of hard work.
When her cup of coffee was done, he went to her bathroom. It was a small but comfortable space with everything she needed. A bathtub was placed in one of the corners and was just the thing she needed to let her tense body ease up at least a little bit. With swift moves she let warm water start to run down in the tub. Taking a satisfying sip of her coffee she moved out of the room to continue packing the last things she needed for her little visit to the mc club.
When the police stood at her entrance, finely deciding on two pairs of shoes instead of one she let her gaze move over to the pair of ballet shoes. She knew she shouldn't take them with her. It is not like she would find any time to use them, but the anxious feeling of not having them around was pushing her forward. Without thinking she had taken a grip on them.
"For god's sake, Evelyn," She whispered to herself as she let her body lead its way to one of the bags in her bedroom. With some huffing and puffing, she got the last things in the bag.
After five minutes of pacing around her apartment, Evelyn made her way to her bathroom again. The file for this mission in one hand and the half-drunken coffee mug in her other hand were the only things she took with her. The tub was full of the warm water she needed, and with a sigh of satisfaction, she let herself strip out of her comfy clothes to soon sink into the perfect bath. She could almost not hold in the moan of pleasure as she felt the water ease her tensed muscles.
