The system was now frustratingly downgraded to level one, and it felt like it would take an eternity to claw its way back up to level ten.
How was she supposed to stream now – without her usual flair?
And what on earth was she going to do about winning over Mr. Christensen?
[Don't panic, host. I'm scouring for a way to boost us back up quickly.]
"Why the sudden downgrade, system?"
[It's likely because Anthea trumped you.]
“Anthea! That bitch again! Just you wait!”
She swore to herself that she'd have her revenge, that Anthea would pay dearly.
The next day, Anthea and Sarah decided to stroll down the streets of Capital City, hitting up some hot Instagram spots along the way.
Come noon, the overcast sky began to sprinkle down flurries of snow.
Anthea, a Southern belle in her past life, seldom had the chance to witness such a wonder.
Cloudcrest, straddling north and south, saw bitter winters, but snowfall was a rarity, maybe once a decade.
At first sight of the snow, she couldn't contain her excitement.
Sarah was just as thrilled, pulling Anthea into a playful dance across the snowy blanket.
They were the spitting image of two carefree pups frolicking in the snow.
Their joyful antics caught the eyes of two kindly old men standing under a tree nearby, admiring the snowy scene.
Kendrick chuckled at Corrin, "Those young ones probably haven't seen snow before. Watching them takes me back to my own youth."
It was a shame that his days were numbered, that such beautiful snowy days would no longer be his to enjoy.
This thought cast a shadow of melancholy across Kendrick's eyes.
Corrin squinted, "Isn't that the young lady who helped someone on the plane the other day?"
At the same time.
Rebecca drove to the renowned Sunnybrook Estate in Capital City.
