[034] a wonderful actress

                                           Courtney knew she had to find a way to make Suki see that she was being tricked. And so, Courtney knew that she had to catch little Victoria in a trap.

                                           Unlike Jessica who was practically invisible, Victoria had a history that went back all the way to college. She was seemingly an accomplished journalist, publishing several successful articles. There was no doubt in Courtney's mind that Victoria not only knew who Suki was, but she was definitely a part of the scheme to blackmail them. After all, she hadn't published any articles in a while and it was obvious that she was looking for her next big break.

                                           Courtney wouldn't allow Suki to be taken advantage of.

                                           As Suki slept, Courtney had been continuing her research when she heard noises coming from Suki. It sounded as though she was crying, another tell tale sign of a nightmare. Courtney instantly climbed into bed with Suki and started stroking her hair, trying to comfort her. It seemed to work because Suki went back to being quiet for a while, even moving in closer to where Courtney lives beside her. That was before she woke up, momentarily dazed as she tried to wake up and see where she was.

                                           "What are you doing?" Suki asked, slightly startled when she saw Courtney so close to her.

                                           "You were having another nightmare. I decided to help you," Courtney answered.

                                           Suki glanced up at her before she looked away, sitting up in bed. As much as Suki tried to remember her nightmare, the details escaped her. It probably had to do with the fact that she often drank so she could black out and not have any nightmares. So the fact that she still did but couldn't remember it bothered her a little.
