( November 18th, 2022. )

    Leah had never seen her girlfriend after a hard loss, and honestly, she was getting annoyed at the way Caitlin kept side eyeing her whenever she tried reassuring her that she played her best.

They were currently at the Manhattan Regional Airport in Kansas after Iowa's game against Kansas State. They had lost by one point and Caitlin wasn't letting anyone forget it. It didn't help that the teams flight had been delayed by 4 hours due to bad weather, which made everyone in a bad mood.

"No, seriously though, you played really good," Leah mutters to her girlfriend, sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. She's in her black sweatpants, with Caitlin's Iowa black hoodie on. The yellow Hawkeyes logo on her chest displaying what school she attends.

Caitlin just scoffs at her words, scrolling through her phone. Leah looks over to what she's doing and sees that she's reading through the mean tweets about her performance last night on Twitter.

Leah sighs, looking around to see if anyone on the team was looking their way. Thankfully, they were all sleeping or busying themselves on their phones. Once Leah knows the coast is clear, she quickly snatches Caitlin's phone out of her hand and puts it in a sweater pocket.

Her dark haired girlfriend doesn't react for a second, before turning her head to face Leah's. The expression on her face is a combination of "why did you do that?" and amused.

"Give me my phone back, Lee," she chuckles, finally letting the loss go. It normally wouldn't have been that easy, but her girlfriend always seemed to remind her that focusing on the bad things never moved someone forward.

Leah shakes her head at Caitlin, looking anywhere but in her eyes. "Can't do that, sorry Cait."

Groaning loudly, she "gives" up on getting her phone back. The load noise wakes up Kate, who's napping next to Caitlin's chair. The blonde glares at her best friend, and at Leah whenever she hears the brunette laugh at the look on her face.

"Can you both shut up?" Kate grumbles, grumpy from the lack of sleep she had gotten last night. The couple both knew that she didn't mean it, so they just laughed it off. "I'm serious, don't make me tell Freya."

Caitlin and Leah both stop laughing, looking at each other with panicked expressions on their faces.

"Please don't tell Freya," Caitlin blurts out, already on Freya's "bad side" because she ate all of her strawberries.

"Freya's already on my ass about hitting that mailbox while I was driving her car, please don't tell her," Leah reveals, remembering when she was driving her best friend's car and accidentally backed into someone's mailbox.

"Wait, what?" Kate says, finally awake due to Leah's words.

"Babe, how the fuck did you do that?"
