[ its about another week before she reaches out again but she has had a lot going on. al can't revoke her visa but she moves home before it expires anyway, settling back in to the lind homestead with her brother's help. she eats a lot of tiny fishes on brown bread and starts getting her energy back slowly, hits the ball around on the court at her primary school.
alex continues sending her screenshots of gabriel's antics, even though she doesn't ask. (he sends her screenshots of her "netflix boyfriend" liking and retweeting gabriel as well, really adding fuel to the fire.) she gets a few offers from a few fairly well-known coaches and she knows it is his doing but she demurs on answering. she's been sick, you see, she is still recovering from the hell flu, yeah she played sick, yeah that's insane, right?
eventually her parents sit her down and tell her that she can retire if she wants and she realizes she doesn't want to. she loves tennis. ]
