Then he walked by and to the pool. No need to say who he was, we all know that answer. Brook blinked slowly, like someone just clearing their eyes, by the time she opened them again he had passed. She took a breath that she hadn't realized she was holding and quietly hated herself for the way she felt.<br/><br/>Getting her head back into the conversation she heard the sound of Carina's voice and felt bad that she wasn't paying close enough attention to her friend. With a more solemn expression she leaned in to Carina who seemed to chose eating over talking about her feelings. Brook wanted to say something but there was so many people around.  "After the comp, let's get into the liquor and have our own dance party today." Brook smiled for Carina.<br/><br/>Valerie had come along and greeted them all. Brook smiled up warmly at her and blinked a couple times because getting a word out was a bit more challenging then smiling. She had the smiling down solid, she was already doing it when Val had arrived.. She pretended to chew a bit of food in her mouth for a moment and did a little brief swallow. Then cleared her throat.<br/><br/>"Hi," Brook replied to Val. "Have a seat. We should probably be doing this up on the terrace but this is where I found myself this morning..." She changed the subject. "The food is never ending here. Enjoy all you want. I've been working out two to three hours a day just to try to burn off the calories." A little chuckled escaped.<br/><br/>... And Brook stopped talking because she was doing that thing she does when she gets nervous and her goofy side takes over.. and her mouth just keeps going. She smiled and shoved some food into her face. Smiling as she chewed. Nope, this wasn't awkward in the slightest... not at all.<br/><br/>... And... Thank the gods and the stars above... Grace joined them all.<br/><br/>"Hi Grace, Carina is the one you probably heard me singing with last night." Brook gestured to Carina. "She has a powerhouse voice. Like it's amazing. We've already started to make plans for another night of singing. You all need to join in." Brook smiled and looked around at everyone like she had just invited them to prom or something. Of course given the lack of things to do in the villa, it might as well have been the prom.<br/><br/>Brook sat back a little drinking some orange juice. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Danny getting out of the pool and she turned her head. In the moment of watching him get under the outdoor shower her heart hitched. In her mind she was standing with him there, she could feel his touch, and the scent of him was all around her again. It was only a moment, a glance... She turned away and buried her nose in her glass of orange juice, she inhaled so deeply, it might have been noticeable, she didn't know but she had to get the smell of him out of her memory or it was going to overwhelm her. Brook chastised herself mentally for letting the sight of him get to her but it was all still so fresh and surreal. When she cared about something she was used to giving it her all. That's just who she was and it was so hard to stop doing that. Pageants - win them, BLM protests - get arrested and tell the judge off... Find the boy of her dreams... walk away and accept he was gone? It just wasn't who she was.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry," Brook said suddenly while standing up with a smile on her face, leaving her food and OJ on the table. "I need to... Go sing a song. I know it's crazy. Just a personal ritual before competitions. I'm a goofball." She shrugged her shoulders with a giggle. "I don't want to bother you all. I'll just go over to the swing." She nodded with that pageant smile on her face turning to leave.
