Apologies Not Required.

Syl smiled despite herself, as she listened to Beth's voice mail. Her friend had no reason to apologize; it wasn't her fault things had fallen through with the tour. Luck had just decided to take a bad turn when the few friends Syl was travelling with dropped off at the same time.

Neil. Beth. Jon... They had personal matters they had to deal with. She didn't blame them for it. Actually, she would have been more worried if they didn't take the time off to deal with what life had thrown at them.

Syl just didn't have a reason to be on this tour herself anymore, now that everyone that mattered to her had to leave.

She chuckled as she muttered half-heartedly "I need to meet other people", though she knew very well that she wasn't motivated enough to do that just yet. She'd been burned too many times before. For now, she'd rather work on the few friendships she still had than risk putting her trust in people who could end up just using and abusing her again for their own self-serving, ego-boosting games and sick mental delusions.

Sighing, she sat back in her seat and thought a moment. Then, she began punching the keys of her cel phone. Going through her tour schedule in her head, a grin formed on her lips.

Yeah, this could work, she thought.
