**LIX: Blake**
Blake opened her door a crack to peek out, biting her lip.
Across the main room, Marie stood next to a small carry-on and a large purse as she locked the door to her room.
*Don’t chicken out. You can do this. You have to start somewhere.*
Taking a deep breath, Blake opened her door and stepped out into the main room, smiling.
“Hey, Marie,” she said, taking a few quick strides across the room as the blonde slung the strap of her purse over one shoulder.
Marie gave her a tight smile, “Hey Blake, what’s up?”
Blake’s roommate had make-up on, but it couldn’t entirely conceal how tired Marie looked.
*Is she just tired? Or is she still having a hard time getting over Liam?*
Blake couldn’t help but feel guilty at that last thought. She knew Liam had made his own choices in the matter, and they hadn’t even kissed until two days ago—Blake felt her cheeks heat a bit at the memory of that, pussy twitching in anticipation of more—but she had still basically stolen Liam away from her.
