Abby showered, feeling refreshed and looking forward to her next session. The gym, despite its initial operating theatre-meets-Top of the Pops appearance, seemed OK. She liked it. It felt self-indulgent in a good way and, she decided, if she threw herself into it enough it might just give her an opportunity to vent some of her built-up frustrations and anger. Abby was sure that with Simon having the girls occasionally and the help of her mum she could keep it up. She didn’t want to be one of those people who started keenly only to give up within a few weeks, leaving their bank account to be the only thing being exercised as the monthly direct debit payments continued to roll out.

Melissa on the other hand griped about her stinging muscles, mad Marcia and her thoroughly mental mantras, and the fact that the way the water dribbled out of the shower it was sure to leave her with shampoo build-up. Abby listened to her rant while she got dressed, deciding that nodding sympathetically and remaining silent was probably best. Once finished, having maligned everything she could possibly think of about her induction to the gym, Melissa looked at Abby and grinned. “Up for it next week then?”

“What? You mean you didn’t discover the reason why fitness comes after exercise in the dictionary, tonight?” she teased in response.

“Don’t get me started again. I was this close” – Melissa presented her thumb and forefinger, parting them so you could barely see light between them – “to telling her another F word that comes after exercise in the dictionary!”

They both laughed. By the time they left the changing room they were sniggering about the vein that bulged out of Marcia’s neck every time she got excited, and the blood vessel in her eye that looked near to popping as she exuded encouragement with every ounce of her overly toned body.

“At least that’s over; next time you’ll get to exercise in peace at your own pace,” Abby reassured, thinking that actually, chatting to Ted had made the time pass quite pleasantly.

As they walked towards the door Abby was taken aback to see Bradley Hunter standing ahead of them looking at the notice board. She turned to Melissa, sincerely hoping it wasn’t a setup.

“I didn’t say when we were coming,” Melissa responded, reading Abby’s expression.

Brad turned at their voices. The smile (Hmm, that smile) and look of surprise on his face confirmed he hadn’t been expecting them. “Hello. You started then?” He spoke with an air of sincere excitement; ever the PE co-ordinator encouraging people to exercise.

“Well, Abby fancied pole fit but—”

Brad’s eyebrows went up. Halted by the sharp dig of Abby’s elbow in her ribs Melissa corrected herself.

“I mean yes, just had our inductions. You?”

“Just been for a swim, I find it relaxing. The water, me, going through my paces.”

Oh! Abby felt her cheeks redden as she let her imagination get a little carried away with the thought of Brad in his swim shorts, the water, and him going through his paces.
