"Yes! Just what I've always wanted," Gracelyn joked when Jo said that Ian's balls were all hers. She liked that they were getting their banter back, easing into their usual best friend relationship. They'd always been comfortable with each other, but a part of Gracelyn had worried that Ian might have destroyed the spirit of the wonderful person that was standing beside her. She hadn't known what she was going to find when she'd finally caught up with Jo-- an empty shell of her friend, or the same girl she'd known for years? She would've found Ian and personally chopped off his genitals herself if she'd stumbled upon the former.
She definitely didn't judge Jo for staying in her car, but it did concern her and she wanted to make sure that neither of them ended up living poorly throughout this situation. She herself had used some of her savings to book a room at a nice hotel in town, but she knew that it wouldn't last and that she needed to get on her feet fast if she wanted to not blow all of her resources. "I took the hotel route as well," she replied, smiling a bit dreamily to herself as she thought of how she'd got there. Kale had recommended it to her after a long, very satisfying night together. "I say we look at apartments tomorrow, if I can still walk that is."
She laughed at Jo's question and winced as they walked farther and farther towards their cars. Jeez, she hadn't remembered it being this long when she'd been sprinting off to find Jo. "I really could not tell you," she said honestly, trying to think back to the wild chase through the woods. She couldn't remember much about it now. "But I figure it was probably at least a few times, considering how sore I am." She got a thoughtful look on her face. "Think we can find any hot guys around here to give us massages?"
