The second day of training.
Isabelle adjusts the number of laps around the island based on their performance the first day.
Mia's laps are increased to twenty-three, while Chris and Zaira's are lowered to nineteen and sixteen.
All three manage to finish by late afternoon.
The third day of training.
Isabelle increases everyone's laps by two, but all three still manage to finish in the same time as the previous day.
The fourth day of training.
The number of laps stays the same, and the three finish them by early afternoon. The exhaustion of the first day is now a distant memory. That same night, Zaira sneaks into Chris's bedroom for the first time since training began — and this time, he doesn't turn her away out of exhaustion. Quite the opposite.
And once again, Mia wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the kitchen for a sip of water.
"Those two depraved maniacs never change…" she mutters with disdain.
And yet she lingers far longer than she should.
