And on the fourth ring he answered. Daniel was reliable like that and after all he had promised Gabriel and Odette to keep a close eye on Dani during her time on the Summer XXXTreme cruise. As soon as Dani heard his voice, she was able to calm herself down. Imagine that, a man that instils the fear of God into others, was simply able to calm the nerves of a naive little girl who had no idea what he was truly capable of. It didn’t take long for Dani to let Daniel know of her situation and it took even less time for Daniel to spring into action. London Underground had arrived to her spot in the car park, Kenz had taken Dani’s bags and put them in the boot of their large black SUV, while Charley was trying to look under the bonnet of the car to see if she could offer any advice, while Daniel was on the phone chatting away to a tow truck driver. It didn’t take any longer than twenty minutes for the tow truck to arrive and Dani’s pride and joy was dragged up on the back of the tow bed, before her car was driven off into the sunset. Never in her many years of owning that car, had anything happened to it so Dani thought it was strange for it to be playing up now but to be honest she knew about as much about cars as she did about winning Sin City Wrestling matches.
Ouch, a self-burn.
The five of them all piled into the seven-seater car, with Os and Daniel up front, Charley and Kenz in the middle while Dani had tucked herself in the back. She was defeated, what else could go wrong today? First it was her bank cards and her accounts and now her car was mysteriously playing up. Rubbing her temples, she tried to think of something positive to focus on, but her chain of thought was broken by the sound of Charlotte’s voice.
<FONT COLOR=#A74AC7> “You okay?”
Charlotte and Makenzie were looking back at her, while Dani could tell that both of the boys were listening out for her answer as well, this was humiliating, and she couldn’t believe her damn luck as of late but here she was being a burden to some of the most successful people she had ever known. Taking a deep exhale Dani just sighed before she mustered up the courage to speak.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“I mean, it’s just my luck it seems, but hey… it can’t get any worse, right?”
The look on their faces wasn’t optimistic, it could always get worse but they all just shared a laugh to try and make Dani’s nervous come to a point of ease. The five, well four continued to exchange small talk before they started to come close to their first destination of this evening and that was Dani’s small flat that she now called home. It wasn’t in the best part of town and too be honest she was mortified that’s he had to utter her address to Daniel as he punched it into the GPS. She knew that all four of them knew her home away from home wasn’t the safest neighbourhood in town, but it was all she could afford since she moved out of the house she shared with Eli. Truth be told, Dani had told the four a slight white lie about her actual apartment. Giving the address for the fancier block of houses across the road, instead of giving them the true address of the run down, but somehow still functioning apartment block that she lived in.
They weren’t the grossest apartments, I mean they had clean water, security screens and functioning power. It was just they were dated and starting to show their age. Compared to the blocks across the road that were new, fresh and quite popular. Think of it this way, the people living across the road from Dani were high class, while she was bunked up in that grey area between middle and low. As Dani looked out the window she could tell her street was only a few blocks away and she sighed, all she wanted to do was crawl into her own bed and sleep the rest of today off, before she had to face the banks tomorrow. She wasn’t even entirely sure how she was going to make it there, but that was a problem for another day and right now she thought she had faced enough. As the car sped through the streets, it didn’t take long before Daniel had the SUV parked out front of “Dani’s apartment” she gulped down the hard lump of regret that was in her throat before they all piled out of the car, to let her out. Dani was quick to grab her bag from Os before she spun around and waved at them. Watching the girl’s and Os disappear back into the car, they slammed their doors shut. Dani turned to walk away, but she almost bumped right into Daniel’s chest.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“I’m so sorry.”
She was a fumbling mess, as Dani looked up at Daniel her face flushed red. Her right hand was up on his chest as she tried to not knock herself over, yet it was an automatic response. Noticing what she had unwittingly done, she quickly snatched her hand back down to her side before she brushed a strand of her short brown hair out of her face with her left hand. Hoping that would distract him, from her foolishness. It hadn’t Daniel was a smart guy and right now, he was watching her suffer from somewhat crippling awkwardness. That action alone brought a smirk to Daniel’s face as he looked down at her. He wasn’t sure if he should pity her and her bad luck or question it. Let’s be honest this wouldn’t be the first time a pretty young woman, might have maxed out her credit cards and called wolf. Then to have her old as sin car break down on the same day, it was enough to raise red flags for Mr Morgan. He was a smart man and he couldn’t help but look for flaws in this story and the icing on the cake was the fact that she lived in this neighbourhood, he couldn’t fully rule out that this was all just one big “poor little old’ me” scheme.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“Thank you, for everything… I owe you.”
Dani spoke, but her voice was barely above a whisper at first as she was nervous. She still wasn’t overly used to Daniel but for the cruise ship, she found him and the rest of London Underground always checking in on her. It was comforting knowing that there was someone out there looking out for her, even if she knew they were only doing it because Gabriel and Odette had asked them to. Dani was still the small fish in a big pond and she had learnt over the past few days that trying to make friends in this business was near on impossible at times. As it turns out, everyone has an opinion on others regardless of how false they might be. Looking up at Daniel, Dani flashed him a smile truth be told she wasn’t sure how things were going to go at the banks tomorrow, or if she would ever see her money again but she had made a promise to him and she was desperate to keep it.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“I promise, as soon as I can. You’ll have your money back and then some. I really appreciate what you have done for me, all of you.”
She turned back to look at the SUV, noticing that the group was watching Daniel and Dani like a hawk. It was what they were paid to do, so she wasn’t overly surprised. Another deep and defeated sigh left her dry lips, as Dani once again gave Daniel a sincere smile. He just stood there, not saying a single word at first as he just calculated the dilemmas from today before he quickly replied to her.
<FONT COLOR=#1589FF> “It’s fine.”
Reaching across towards her, Daniel bent down, and Dani wasn’t sure what he was doing but she caught his actions out of the corner of her eyes as he leant down and picked up her carry on back pack before he slung it over his right shoulder.
<FONT COLOR=#1589FF> “Alright, which ones yours?”
He was motioning towards the apartments in the fancy block they were standing in front of and that’s when the realisation of Dani making a small white lie, smacked her right in the chest. Daniel was offering to help her carry her belongings up to her apartment, but there was no way Dani would allow him to see where she truly lived. It was humiliating, and she had gone through enough trauma today, she didn’t need his pity as well to increase her load. She quickly reached out and grabbed at her bag and she gently dragged it off his shoulder before she nervously laughed.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“It’s okay, Daniel really. I’ve got it from here”
She gave him the most reassuring smile she could muster up, as he reluctantly let her bag slide off his shoulder before he handed it over to her. The look in her eyes was desperate as she was trying to plead with him silently to just let this one go. However, Dani knew that regardless of how scary he was to others, deep down he was a proper gentlemen and what kind of man would let a young woman in a bad neighbourhood walk alone to her apartment? Yet the more she reassured him, the more he could tell that something wasn’t right, but Daniel could tell from the despair that was written all over her face that she was mortified about what she was hiding. Hesitantly he handed Dani back her belongings before he, stepped around to the side of her, moving his face towards hers so he could talk quietly to her, it’s not that what he was going to say next wasn’t something he didn’t want the others to hear it was just he couldn’t exactly put his finger on why she was acting all sorts of uncomfortable.
<FONT COLOR=#1589FF> “If you need anything else, Dan… you can call.”
Dani didn’t know what to say, but she just nodded as if she agreed. She knew she could call him and he would do whatever he could to “rescue” her. But she felt foolish for doing so, also, he didn’t have to save her, I mean he barely knew her like she barely knew him.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“Thank you, you’ve done enough… I promise I’ll pay you back as soon as I can.”
It was Daniel’s turn to nod because one way or another he would get his money back, he was a businessman first and foremost and money was definitely a driving force for him. Without another word spoken, he just flashed her a crocked smile before he slowly stepped back, turned on balls of his feet and walked off towards the driver’s side of the car. Dani just looked back at them, giving them all a wave before she watched the car pull off from the side of the road and into the street. She watched as the car left her sight and only when she thought she was in the clear did she dart across the road and head to her actual apartment block. Rushing up to the gate she punched in her four-digit pin, before the buzzer sounded before she ran towards the foyer. Hoping she had made the grand escape that had played out in her mind. However, she hadn’t a within seconds all four members of London Underground knew that she had lied to them. For what reason, or why? They didn’t have any idea, but it didn’t sit well with them. They didn’t say a single word to one another, as they did the block before heading off in the direction of their house.
~~
A few days later;
It didn’t take that long for the banks to work out what had happened with Dani’s cards and accounts and it didn’t take them that long to wipe her credit card debit and return her life savings back to her account. She considered herself lucky as she knew this could have been a long drawn out process, but luck seemed to be on her side for once. It had been a rough few days without having access to any of her funds, but she lived off the limited amounts of cash she had lying around her apartment. Lucky for her, she was used to living off two-minute noodles and frozen meals. Dani couldn’t deny the feeling of having her accounts reinstated, her money back it was as if she had won lotto I mean she wasn’t rolling in money, but she had enough to pay for her car to be repaired and finally take herself food shopping. The thought of having fresh fruit in vegetables in her fridge was heaven. It was the little things that amused her, and it was simple luxuries like having a fresh apple to munch on instead of stall box of cookies to snack on that made the past few days of financial pain seem worth it.
After she handled to essentials Dani, made a call to Daniel hoping to arrange a time to meet up with him so she could pay him back, however it took a few days for him to actually pick up her calls. It was an odd feeling in the pit of Dani’s stomach as if she had done something wrong, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Of course, she couldn’t, because she didn’t know that her stealth like plan to tell a white lie about where she lived was foiled within minutes of telling it. Daniel was short and curt with Dani on the phone, but after a lot of pleading Dani was able to lock in a time to see him. She couldn’t put her finger on why he was being so tense with her, but she just stupidly put it down to the fact that he was extremely busy, living his life and doing whatever it was that he did in his spare time. They were set to meet at 2pm at the local ARIA café, the time now was 12:45 meaning that Dani had just thirty minutes to get showered, changed and her foot out the door to head off to their meeting place. However, remember how I told you happiness was short lived?
As Dani came prancing down the stairs of her apartment block, she left skipped across the foyer with a spring in her step she hadn’t had in days before she exited the building leading into the street to walk off towards the direction of her car. However, as she looked towards it she noticed there was a man already leaning up against her green Honda civic. And the closer she got to her vehicle she could finally make out whom it was. It was her ex Eli, someone that she thought she had finally gotten rid of. He stood their proudly as if he knew she was just moments from stepping out of her apartment. It was creepy, but Dani didn’t have time for this as she stepped onto the road and headed towards the driver’s side door hoping she could just avoid him, hop in her car and speed off without any interaction. Turns out not all fantasies come true as the closer she got to her car, the closure he was starting to appear.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Dani, baby…”
The sound of his voice was enough to make her weak at her knees, she loved his voice, but she was determined to not let him win her over this time. She ducked her head down and focused on the pavement as she boldly moved towards her car.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Beautiful, it’s been too long.”
He was persistent as he chased her, eager to speak with her. It hadn’t been long enough as Dani could still vividly remember their break up and him moving on just days after. Gritting her teeth, she just pushed past him, heading towards the driver’s door as he reached out placing the palm on his hand on the door she slammed it shut on her as she tried to open it.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Talk to me, baby… come home… please. I miss you… I love you… please.”
He was stumbling with his words as he spoke, and the closure Dani got to him the more she could smell the alcohol that was seeping out of his pore, bringing her eyebrows together she sighed before she shook her head no. She didn’t have time for this, she had a meeting to attend, well it wasn’t a meeting, but she felt like Daniel’s time was precious and she didn’t want to waste it by being tardy.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Dani baby, please… let’s talk…”
He reached out and tucked a strand of her short brown hair behind her ear, before she slammed into the side of her car, blocking her from attempting to open her car door once more. He was drunk, of course he was drunk there was nothing new here, but Dani couldn’t stand the sight of him as she groaned out loud.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“Eli please, I don’t have time for this… just go, please just go.”
She was begging him, but it was as if her voice was falling on deaf ears as Eli, grabbed onto her shoulders shaking her back and forth as he swung in his drunken state.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Why are you so dressed up babe? Where are you going? Why the rush?”
He was filled with questions and the more he spoke, the angrier his tone got. Dani just shrugged his hands off her shoulders, before she looked down at what she was wearing she didn’t think she was overly dressed up. She had a pair of short black heels on, with a tight pair of dirty blue jeans that hugged her body with a white spaghetti strapped shirt. There was nothing special about her attire, I mean sure she had put a little effort in, but she didn’t think it was noteworthy. However, as Dani looked up she saw the glimmer she had seen in Eli’s eyes once before, it was jealously mixed with rage as there was no way she was going to stand for it this time. Dani stepped back, and quickly darted around the back of her car before she unlocked her Civic and jumped into the back seat. Her heart was racing at a million miles as Eli had clicked onto what Dani had just done to him. There was no way she was going to let him mentally abuse her, like he used to, and she was desperate to get away. As she was in the backseat, she shimmed her way in between the passenger and driver’s seat making her way to the driver chair before she buckled up and stuck the keys in the ignition. Meanwhile Eli was slamming his fist into the window, and with one swift move he would have shattered the glass everywhere, but he stumbled back falling onto his behind before Dani sped off leaving him. She felt bad, and the more she looked in the rear-view mirror the more she wanted to turn back and save him, but she couldn’t bring herself to be a pawn in his game anymore and truth be told, she had no doubt in her mind that he was going to be there when she got home, and she would just have to deal with it then.
It was 2:05pm at Aria and Dani was late, as she parked her car and ran towards the front doors. She could spot Daniel waiting for her and the more she ran the more she felt like time was running against her. It was a terrible feeling, because she already felt like she was fast becoming a pain in his arse and now she was eating up into his personal time. As she rushed up the set of stairs she quickly darted in between the tables, people and staff before she scooted to a stop in front of him. Holding her hand up to wave, she took a moment to catch her breath. Daniel just looked down at her with a confused look upon his face.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“Daniel… Hi… Oh… My… God… so… sorry for being late.”
She managed to catch her breathe midsentence, before Dani fumbled with her black clutch, as she rifled through it, her right hand felt onto the yellow package that contained way more money than it needed but she wanted to compensate Daniel for his time, effort and generosity for getting her out of a hard spot in her life. Reaching out she handed him to envelope before, he grabbed it firmly. Feeling the weight of the money inside of it, he could tell that there was more than needed. He couldn’t put his finger on if she was trying to win him over, or if she was just desperately trying her best to pay him back plus adding a little more on for interest. Either way he wasn’t impressed, he didn’t need money and he didn’t need someone mistaking his generosity as something they could just pay back and add extra too, what did she think of him? Dani didn’t understand what she had done wrong, but she watched as Daniel motioned of her to take a seat and without another word spoken she did what she was told. Now the two of them sat across from one another and it didn’t take long for Daniel to start speaking.
<FONT COLOR=#1589FF> “Why did you lie to me, about where you lived?”
He didn’t ease into it, he was straight up and direct and Dani didn’t even have a second to think of an excuse because she knew that she had been caught out in her little white lie. A sigh escaped her lips as she just looked down at the table, as if she was searching for answers but all she had to do was be truthful from here on out.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“I didn’t want you to think less of me.”
Her words were honest and raw as she looked up from the table to look into his eyes, his cold unforgiving eyes but she felt the need to plead her case anyways.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“I didn’t want you, of all people to see what I really am… a mess. I mean not a complete mess, but like… you already had to bail me out for my cards, then my car I didn’t want you to pity me because of my living situation as well. I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have but I just wanted one last shred of dignity to stay with me that day. I didn’t want to seem like the poor girl, who doesn’t have a handle on her life. I didn’t want to be judged because of where I live. I’ve had enough judgement lately… I didn’t want yours, I didn’t want your pity.”
Dani couldn’t tell if he was believing her or not, but his silence was enough to cripple her as she just returned her gaze down to the table that separated them. It wasn’t because she wanted to impress him, that’s not what she was after. Dani just wanted to feel like she wasn’t the disappointment, everyone was reminding her that she was and by telling a little white lie she had done the opposite because now the one person who had helped her through everything, was no doubt about to wipe his hands clean of her. She didn’t give him enough time to reply as she just stood up in her spot and let out a final sigh before she spoke.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>“Thank you for everything Daniel, I appreciate what you, Os and the girls did for me. I truly do.”
Her words were softly spoken by were sincere and without waiting to hear his response, Dani just ducked her head down and left the café. She could add this to the list of things she had screwed up and to be honest the list was starting to unravel. When it all boils down to it, everyone has their problems, but she wasn’t sure how much longer she could hold on to hers. She had a sick mother, an obsessive ex-boyfriend, struggling to make ends meet as she had to pay for a lot more than she should be at her age, she basically had no friends in Sin City Wrestling, well she did… but she was pretty sure she had just lost one of her last ones. Well by ones she meant four. She was winless, dateless and now hopeless that anything that sort of looked or seemed like good luck was going to come her way.
Dani made her way back to her car, clicking on her seat belt before she took off back home. It was a longer car ride than usual as she replayed the last few weeks over in her mind. It was a sad enough story to maintain her full concentration, before she pulled up and parked out side the block of apartments she called home. Pulling herself out of the car, she slammed the door behind her before locking them. Making her way to the gate, she punched in her numbers, listened for the buzzer, before she walked into the foyer. As she made the long climb back up the fire escape stairs to her apartment, she didn’t lift her head once, she just wanted this day to be over and not having anywhere else to go she was going to spend her time locked up at home. As she made her way down the hallway towards her front door, she completely missed the sound of heavy footsteps behind her. Dani was off in her own sort of fairyland that she missed the owner of those footsteps, reach out and slam her into her front door.
Turning her around in his grip, Dani was forcefully made to face him and as her eyes fully opened she was now fully aware of who was behind this. Eli had her pinned up against her apartment door, and the more she struggled to get away the more pressure he applied.
<FONT COLOR=#89C35C> “Come home Dani.”
He wasn’t being quiet as he screamed in her face, it had been over an hour since their last encounter, but he had managed to find a bar to soak in some more booze before he made his glorious return to haunt her. Eli pressed his forehead against Dani’s she knew in his own sick little way he loved her, but she couldn’t live like this. It was never like this when they were together, he was absent most of the time as he had his head planted in music books, or he was too busy focusing on trying to kick off his Rockstar career to even amount to any sort of physical abuse towards her. The stalking had only begun once they broke up and even though he had moved on for a moment in time, something always brought him back to her.
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94> “Eli, please… don’t…”
Before she could finish her sentence, his lips we planted onto hers as he kissed her, but Dani resisted as she turned her head away. It wasn’t the reaction he was looking for, as he reached down and grabbed the sides of her face forcefully, bringing her lips together in a pout. His fingertips flushed white from the intensity of his grasp while her cheeks burned red and once again his lips were on hers. Dani pushed as hard as she could, even lifting her right knee to aim for his crotch but he had it scouted and the more she put up a fight the harder he gripped her. She couldn’t take it anymore and before she knew she could feel tears streaming down her face, it didn’t stop Eli as he continued to apply pressure and as Dani struggled to free herself, Eli seemingly forgot his own strength as he pushed her a little to hard into the door. As the back of Dani’s head bounced off the hard wood, the last thing she remember before everything went black was seeing a vague resemblance of a person approaching Eli from behind.
Dani didn’t know what happened next, all she knew is that the next morning she woke up in her own bed. She was dressed in a large black shirt that she had no idea where it came from. Her first reaction was to look down and think to herself if anything felt strange or different because a woman always knows when she’s been touched, willingly or unwillingly the next day. A loud exhale escaped her lips as she just knew that Eli hadn’t done anything more to her, as she checked over self as she rushed towards the bathroom in her one room apartment. She didn’t know how she got inside, or how she got free from his grip, but she was safe for now, behind her locked bathroom door. She made a beeline for the mirror to see two scratches on each side of her face, Dani knew they were from his fingernails as he dug them into her cheeks. She could see faint black swelling around her eyes, that she could possibly pass off a tiredness when she had to face the day later on. However, she couldn’t help but wonder how she had made it inside her apartment, somewhat unharmed.
Reaching across from the vanity, she turned the shower taps on to hot before she slipped off the large black shirt, her underwear soon followed, and her first instinct was to wash away everything that had happened yesterday. While she tried to put two and two together of just how exactly she managed to get out of the world of trouble yesterday. The more she thought about it, as she sat on the floor in her shower letting the burning hot water splash her skin, the more she couldn’t help but think that the world was truly hellbent on watching her fall, but yet it had an odd way of always catching her in times of need.
~~
<FONT COLOR=#FFFF94>Another week passes, and another loss comes my way, it’s like I’ve got a magnet attached to me that just clings onto bad luck.
I mean, it feels that way, but that was last week, and this week is a brand new week with a brand new golden opportunity at my doorstep. Sure, I didn’t beat Mikah and I didn’t walk away last week with the Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Championship, but what I did walk away with was knowledge and well some say that knowledge is power in this business and let me assure you, next time I face Mikah for the World Bombshell Championship, I’ll be ready… mark my words I’ll be ready because everyone has a weakness and trust me, I’ve found hers.
So, welcome to the next chapter in the story that is Danielle Weston, it’s a fresh new start without having to worry about what mindless, dim-witted little people think of me. So, what, I’m winless? Who else can stand back in the company and say that regardless of failing to get the one, two, three I was still able to make the right moves and impress the right people to gain an opportunity of a lifetime. I got to go face to face with Mikah for the World Bombshell Championship because I showed the world that I was willing to work hard. But as they say, sometimes the devil works harder and sometimes people want to rain on your parade. So, here it is… if you have a problem with what I’m doing or have done in this business… you have two options… one you step up and do something about it, or two… you just get a little more creative instead of implying that I’ve sucked cock to be where I am.
A trend I just know that Jessie Salco is going to attach herself too when she comes at me this week. I mean it’s pretty obvious how this will go down, she’ll slander me, say that I’m winless and that she has the chance of a lifetime at her finger tips and she isn’t going to let this chance to climb the ladder to become the next Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Champion out of her grasp, because why would she? She has been black listed from being able the challenge for any title in Sin City Wrestling, due to her constant complaining and demanding… so now, she has been handed a lemon and welp, it’s time for her to either make lemonade or in Ben Jordan’s case it’s time to throw them at someone.
Jessie is going to come at me with everything she’s got and well truth be told, I’m looking forward to it because if she thinks she is the only one in this match up with something to prove, she isn’t. Sure, she has to put in the work but for me, I have to work twice as hard for the rest of the world to see me, for the rest of the world to get on board and believe in me. It’s a tough uphill battle, but lucky for me I like to climb.
Sunday night is just days away and it all boils down to who wants it more, does Salco want to free herself from not being able to go for a title… or do I want to finally show the world that this girl from Daytona Beach can actually win something for a change? I think I know the answer but like they say, sometimes you have to show the world what you’re capable of for them to believe in you and I think it’s about time I opened a few sets of eyes. It’s not going to be easy, but fighting for something you truly want shouldn’t come without a struggle and I think I’ve struggled enough… I think it’s time I get my head right in this game and start putting away those victories because, luck can only keep you surviving for so long and with the luck I’ve had since my debut I think I’m just about out of receiving lucky chances when it comes to championship matches.
It’s time to go that extra mile and it all starts again this Sunday night when I face Jessie Salco, a Sin City Wrestling veteran who is still trying to show the world she has what it takes to make it to the top of the mountain. I’m just sorry to say that your climb to the summit, won’t be starting this weekend Jessie. This weekend it’s my time to show everyone just who I am, it’s time to show the world that I’m not the disappointment from the Stevens’ gym but in fact, I’m the next big thing.
I’m looking to advance in this gold rush tournament because, lets face it if I was to win it and go on to face the World Bombshell Champion, who on earth could really question my position in this company? No one… I’m sorry Salco, but Sunday night won’t be your night… it will be mine and I will do everything I can to get past you and capture my first ever win in Sin City Wrestling and the journey back to the top will be one less step away. I need to prove to the world that I belong here, I need to prove to my trainers I deserve to be here, and I need to remind myself that this is what I was born to do, I’ve wanted this since I was a little girl and I’ll be damned if I get another opportunity slip through my fingers.
I’ll see you all on Sunday night, let’s just pray that there's a little luck on my side.
