[006] two miserable people

                                   Margo chose not to tell Patrick that Tashi had been at her match. She wasn't even going to tell Patrick that Art was going to be in the challenger event with him. If Art continued on with his losing streak, it wasn't as though they'd be competing anyway. So, Margo thought it would be better idea for her to keep it a secret and let Patrick focus only on winning.

                                Admittedly, her thoughts were clouded because of it. And that, combined with her feeling a little tired, made her not be as focused and into the practice as she needed to be. And it was already a bad sign when Patrick was actually managing to overpower her. Even he was confused by it, light concern painted on his features when he made another point and the ball just whizzed past an exhausted looking Margo.

                                 "Are you okay?" Patrick asks, approaching Margo who wiped the sweat off of her forehead in irritation. 

                                 "I'm fine. Let's keep going," Margo insisted.

                                 "Are you sure?" Patrick asked.

                                 "Come on, Patrick. We need to keep training. By the time we announce to everyone that you're going to be playing at the event, I want you to be absolutely ready," Margo replied. She wasn't about to go easy on him anytime soon.
