"Officer Aurora, you meant this all along?"
It wasn't until Sam was seated in Aurora's car, speeding through city streets to their destination, that the gravity of the situation truly dawned on him. Compared to what he had imagined... this was a disaster!
What appeared before Sam was not some themed love hotel but, least likely of all, a mixed martial arts club.
Yes, despite not expecting anything specific, Sam certainly hadn't anticipated "deepening their conversation" would involve this!
"What's the plan here?"
Aurora's lips curled into a slight smile. "Exactly this, what else did you think?"
"Ah... nothing, just didn't expect mixed martial arts, that's all."
Sam could only offer an awkward smile in response.
