We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
I'm resistant, but going down with the ship
It'd be so nice, right? Right?
If we could take it all off and just exist
And skinny dip in water under the bridge

The morning sun bathed the English Harbourside in a gentle light as the Lionesses gathered in the dining hall for breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of chatter filled the air. Abi, Leah, Kei, and G found themselves immersed in lively conversation.
As the team indulged in a hearty breakfast, Sarina entered the dining hall with a mischievous smile playing on her lips. The girls looked up, curiosity evident in their expressions. Sarina, with a twinkle in her eye, cleared her throat to grab their attention.
"Ladies, enjoy your breakfast because today, you've got the day off," she announced, her words met with a chorus of surprised exclamations.
The news spread through the dining hall like wildfire, sparking excitement among the team. Abi and her friends exchanged wide-eyed glances, their mouths morphed into wide grins.
With the day theirs to explore, the Lionesses set out together. The first stop was a lively shopping district, where the group navigated through boutique stores and market stalls. Laughter echoed as they tried on quirky hats and posed for impromptu fashion shows, momentarily leaving behind the rigours of football training.
"Smile G!" Abigail exclaimed at Georgia wore a rather odd looking pair of glasses, the camera clicked as Georgia struck a pose. The team all gave a laugh at the photo and Georgia's miserable attempt at modelling.
However, amid the joyous atmosphere, a subtle tension persisted between Abi and Lucy. Their competitive spirits, usually confined to the field, surfaced in the most unexpected moments. As they perused racks of clothing, a silent rivalry played out through critical glances and strategic choices.
Lucy, eyeing Abi's choice of a vibrant sundress, couldn't resist a subtle dig. "Bold choice, Abigail. Not sure it's your color, though."
Abi, masking her irritation with a forced smile, shot back, "Well, not everyone can pull off monochrome all the time, Lucy."
Leah, ever the mediator, attempted to ease the tension. "Come on, guys, it's a day off. Let's not ruin it with unnecessary drama."
Yet, the simmering conflict persisted, casting a shadow over the otherwise sunny day. Lunchtime found the team at a charming café, where the clash between Abi and Lucy reached a new height. The air grew thick with unspoken words as they sat across from each other. Abi's attempt at casual conversation was met with terse replies, and Lucy's eyes held a challenge that lingered beneath the surface.
Abi, frustration evident in her voice, finally addressed the elephant in the room. "What's your problem, Lucy? Can't we have a normal day without you trying to one-up me at every turn?"
Lucy, leaning back in her chair, smirked. "Maybe if you weren't so determined to make everything a competition, we could."
Leah sighed, realizing that the tension was spiraling out of control. "Guys, let's just enjoy the day. We're a team, remember?"
