 Fluttery Pegasi
Despite having CoMC class in the morning, Hadley Denaker was in a good mood. Mostly. And not even Draper was going to spoil it. Gently humming the suite to The Nutcracker--holiday appropriate and a subtle ballet jab--Hadley made her way down to the barn.
All intentions of keeping her good mood however, soured at the sight of the man. She couldn't help but picture that smug gloating expression he had on in the spare office. The sting of him beating her hadn't faded either. But she was different now. Not the same broken girl she'd been then. She had her fight back. Actually, all she felt like doing these days was fighting. Which was completely the opposite problem from what she had that day in the office.
"Good morning," she said sourly and gave the man a nod of the head. How would she address him? The silence was allowed to linger a moment, building the suspense. "Drapes." There was her Denaker smirk again. With that Hadley made her way to the benches and took a seat far from anyone else. She wasn't in a great mood anymore and it was probably best to keep to herself for now.
