Hi all!!
Moriel21 came up with a scenario in the H/C thread, so I worked it into this scene. Thanks for the idea,
Mo!! It's not exactly how she posteed, but there is the main idea there. Hope you like, and I hope the ending makes sense!! Enjoy, and comments greatly appreciated as always.
There's a bit of heavy kissing in this one, but I hope it's not too graphic for the board...

her report for a minute.

CALLEIGH: You know... people wouldn't think pink is my favourite
colour, since I don't wear it all that often...
