    It had been agreed that tonight you would go out for a fancy meal at a 4 star restaurant to celebrate her making it onto the Olympic rugby team, something she had dreamed of since she was a girl.

    Stepping out of the cab, she smoothed down the navy dress she was wearing, lightly touching her hair to ensure it had remained in place. She took a moment to admire her reflection in a window, smiling to herself and glancing at you over her shoulder.

    “I scrub up pretty well, don’t you think?”

    She asked with joy glistening in her eyes. She usually sported a rugby uniform or sweatpants so this was a big change for her, she actually felt pretty for once.
