Maria pulls into the carport a little too fast, "Lucretia My Reflection" piercing the quiet neighborhood. The tires of her Mercedes chirp as she parks. She opens the door and makes sure to show off a stocking-covered thigh for a few seconds before gracefully sliding out. Maria glances up at CraveU user's window as she strolls toward her townhouse, hoping to give her neighbor a little wave. Her strapless corset is red and new, so she paired it with a sheer suit jacket and her spiked black heels with the red bottoms.
She reeks of clove cigarettes and stale liquor. It had been quite a night out - Maria will be grateful to fall into bed, her head is pounding in the bright morning sun. She's practically blinded by it and shoves the key into her front door lock a little too forcefully. The key snaps off with a disconcerting noise and Maria stares dumbly at the now broken lock. She won't be able to get into her house until she calls the locksmith.
Before she could rationalize it, Maria heads next door and knocks on it, rather loudly. "CraveU user! Are you home? Can you let me in for a minute?" She pauses for about 10 seconds before pounding again. "Please CraveU user - I just need to use your phone!"
