Two days later, Kelley arrives at the US camp alongside Alex and Allie and immediately begins her search for Emily at the hotel. First running into a group of teammates containing Mal Pugh, Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Horan.

Kelley: Have any of you guys seen, Sonny?

Mal: No.

Rose: Not yet.

Mal and Rose both shake their heads.

Lindsey: She is going to be arriving later this afternoon; something to do with a flight issue.

Kelley: Oh, thanks Linds. Who's her roomie for camp?

Mal smiles, "Me."

Kelley: Awesome, can you let me know when she arrives? I really need to speak with her about something.

Mal: Sure.

Lindsey looks at her, "KO, can we speak alone for a minute?" Kelley looks at her and nods, knowing what's about to come and walks over to the far side of the hallway.

Lindsey lets Mal and Rose know that she will catch up in a few before joining Kelley.

Kelley: Before you say anything Linds, I need to tell you something. I'm not married, nor, have I ever been and I've been trying to find Sonny to tell her that and ...

Lindsey: And ... that you've finally come to your senses and figured out that she has been in love with you for years? 

Kelley nods, "Linds, I think that I'm in love with her, too."

Lindsey: You better not think, you better know if you plan on approaching her. She is happy is with Lexa, Kel, don't fuck that up for her. 

Kelley: I get it, but have you ever known a simple thing like a girlfriend to stop me?

Lindsey looks at her, "I can't believe that I'm actually saying this, but, please don't hurt her any more than you already have. I can't take any more late-night calls from her crying because of your revolving door of girls." 

Kelley takes Lindsey's hand, "I know that I've fucked up and down, left, right and centre in the past when it comes to everything with breasts and a pussy, but, maybe it's because the right set didn't come along." 

Lindsey shakes her head, "I can't believe you just said that to me, I'm now going to be stuck with that visual in my brain. Long story short, you hurt Sonny and expect there to be payback. Now, I need to go and find a way to bleach those visuals out of my head. I'll see you later, KO."

"Thanks, Linds." 

Kelley watches as Lindsey makes her way down the hallway, inserting a card in a door and then entering a room.  

A few hours later and Kelley finds herself pacing around the hotel room she is sharing with Ashlyn Harris for this particular camp. 

Ashlyn: Seriously, KO, get your shit together, I'm trying to Facetime Ali and you're distracting me by bouncing off the walls.

Kelley: Sorry Ash, I'll go for a walk.

Ashlyn: Don't forget your room key, I'm heading out with Pinoe soon.

Kelley: Ok, got it. Say hi to Kriegs for me.

Kelley heads out of the room, down the stairs and into the main lobby where she sees something that causes a feeling in her chest. Emily is standing there with her arms around another woman and kissing her. That should be me, Kelley thinks, it will be me by the end of this camp.
