<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408080"><div style="text-align: center">For the longest time, Ashlyn stared at her computer monitor, wondering what she should do about her life. It seemed empty, but not so empty with the army at her back and she a high-ranking officer. Still, there wasn't much bliss along the lines of her love life. And her sex life was nothing to speak of. Literally. There wasn't anything special in her life, and no one either. All she had was her dog and he was pretty much her only companion. It wasn't like she could indulge herself with the other officers as it was against protocol. But she wasn't the type for one-night stands either, so the point was null. <br/>

Amber gold eyes, streaked with bits of gray, turned from the monitor to look out at the darkening sky. It would rain tonight. Sighing as she stood, red lips forming into the slightest pout, she decided a walk around the facility was in order. She changed out of her office attire and into her tank top and sweats along with her running shoes. Perhaps a jog would clear her mind of anxiety. Tying her long, tousled black hair into a ponytail, she set off on her course. Her mind wandered in the slightest, but the sound of her pounding feet and heart beat drowned out every thing else.​</div></span>
