Max always knows just what to do. Since Hal had his lab tonight, he wasn't going to be there for me after work. He did join this morning at the gym for the first time in a week. And he'd checked in at lunch. But as nice as it was to see him, I was still dwelling on what Dr. Laurie hadn't said and he could tell. So he called up Max and asked if she was busy tonight and let her know I was down in the dumps.

Of course I didn't know any of this until she pulled up at the bus stop where I was waiting to get on the bus. Yelling out her passenger window, "Hey cutie, you going my way?" I had to jump in quick, cause the bus was right behind her.

Candace was in the back seat and just grinning like a little devil. They had stopped by my place and let Mom know they were taking me for the evening. While there they packed up an overnight bag for me, got a change of clothes, and Max even found Hal's present and made sure to grab that. They then rushed back to the museum to pick me up, just barely.

We headed back to Candace's where I was ordered to get ready for the night. I was also ordered to put on Hal's present, Max wanted to see it of course. So gulping my embarrassment, and hoping Sam wouldn't walk in on us. I modeled myself, neatly wrapped in a strategically see-through piece of lingerie. Max and Candace both assured me how good I looked. And to be totally honest, it feels really good. See, that became the dare, was for me to wear it for the rest of the night. Not alone, obviously, so I still put on the clothes Max and Candace had grabbed for me. But a low cut skirt had me thinking about it all night long. Though even Max had to admit Candace has great taste in clothing.

And I do look fantastic, and feel amazing. It's strange how such a little thing can have that powerful of an effect.

After dinner, and an episode of Wynonna Earp, which Max loves! We loaded back into Max's car and headed out to The Black Buzzard where was being hosted Open Mic Comedy, and we have had an incredible night. There were some really funny people, one or two not as funny, and the ever present heckler who we all cheered to be removed. Max's only complaint was that neither Candace or I could drive and that meant she had to stay sober.

It was so much fun, and the perfect thing to get me out of my slump. But it was also much later than I usually stay up, and now I'm exhausted and wired. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow which means I don't have as much time to get things done as I would normally. Which is why we're back at Candace's, rather than driving me home, and Max'll get me home in the morning.
