She fumbled for the phone, juggling it when she nearly dropped it in her haste.“Hello?” she gasped into the receiver.“Daisy? What’s wrong, honey? You sound out of breath.”She face planted into the arm of her sofa. It wasn’t unusual for her mom to call randomly. With the weird hours Daisy and her dad worked at the sheriff’s department, the whole family needed very little sleep. No doubt her mom figured she had to be up, or wouldn’t mind being awakened by a phone call. Daisy always thought it was a cute habit, but she was a little preoccupied at the moment.“Uh, hey, Mama. Um, I was working out.” Ha! Yeah, she’d had one hell of a workout. Her vagina would probably need ice after this. “What’s up?” she asked ignoring the grumbling, grunting lion on the floor behind her.Her mother made a thoughtful sound. “You shouldn’t be working out when you don’t feel well, cher, you might make it worse.”“It was just a headache. And um, well I heard that sometimes if you have one, working out can help constrict the blood vessels and make the pain go away.”
