Gladiola's rocky skin makes slight clack cut sounds as she does situps. With Lacrosse over, she can't afford to get sloppy.

Ivan watches nearby, attentively

And Gwen, thinking she's alone in this work out, talks to her dog "What do YOU think, Ivan? I mean, College? I don't want to go. At least I don't think so. but everyone seems to think I should. Community? It's closer. Cheaper too"

"Grooming and dog sitting ? I can do. I ..wouldn't mind training for a living I guess, but the kennels here have to come first"

“Ruff.” Ivan agrees.

"Thanks, Buddy" She says between more sit ups "I just, Thistle said 'it's expected I KNOW something'. She's pretty smart. She might be right. Am I shaming mom or the hold by not going for a BS or BA?"

"Yeah" She switches to push ups "I don't know either"

Soon, a good work out is done. She rises and pets the dog "Good boy. Thanks for your patience"

"Now it's time for YOUR walk" And the two head out

(End scene)
