Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

She frowned as she watched me walk towards the training center; there were two vending machines right outside the door. One with healthy snacks, and the other with waters, Gatorades, and energy drinks.

She frowned at me and folded her arms across her chest.

"Seriously, what's wrong with you?" She asked. "You seem off... not yourself. Are you focused because this part of the competition is crucial?"

"I'll be ready,” I told her. “You don't need to worry about me. Just worry about yourself."

"I'll see you in a bit," Tabby murmured as she walked away.
