She pounded on her sore, weak legs, her face clouded with frustration.
Her legs usually only gave out when she was extremely panicked or nervous. This was a first. She didn't know if it was because last night had been too wild or if she was simply exhausted, but right now, she couldn't put any strength into her legs at all.
She took out her phone, thinking of calling someone for help, but then remembered it was during work hours. Feeling too embarrassed to bother anyone, she decided against it.
'If I just sit here for a little while, I should be able to stand up...'
