Avery made herself a fairly simple dinner, instant chicken noodle soup since it was perfect weather for it. The bowl in hand she snuggled up on her bed and put the movie into her computer. It was a comfortable night, nights she figured would probably have been better spent in company. It didn’t help that all her friends were across the ocean. She’d struggled making friends here, but it made sense, solo player online, solo in real life. For all James’ rudeness he at least had friends, which would sometimes lead her to wonder if it had been, in fact, her who was the problem.

Then she realised she was thinking about James again and the girl made a face as she finished off her soup and retrieved the ice cream.

He had no chance of following her if she went out into the neutral zones with even moderately difficult monsters.
