Barre, Anyone?

“I hate you.”

Zoe cackles. “You would never have tried it on your own!”

“You’ve got that right! Especially if you’d had the decency to tell me I’d be in pain for a whole week after!”

“Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad. What makes you think it’ll take you a week to get over it?”

“I just worked muscles I didn’t even know that I have! We just left and I’m already sore!”

“Well, I say good for you!” She pauses, then bursts out laughing. “I’m glad I was on the other side of the room!

“I’m not! Those ladies looked as though they wanted to kill me! They might have, too, if I’d bumped or kicked them one more time!”

“That’s your imagination. I’m just kidding. I’m proud of you. It was your first time. You did great.”

Sigh. “Thank you.”

“Wanna go again next week?”

Do I? My muscles and core definitely got a good workout, and I learned some new exercises. 

Actually, now that it's over, it was kind of cool. And it's always fun being with Zoe.

​“Yeah, I'll go. If I can walk by then.”
