Chris then apologized again and Violet shook her head softly and placed her hand on his arm for reassurance,"It's alright Chris...It wasn't your fault..I should've been watching where I was going...It was clearly my fault.."
But before she knew it, she then realized what was going on. And the fact that their faces were just inches apart. Violet's heart quickly began racing and she wasn't sure what to do at that exact moment just now. Then he suddenly jumped up making Violet bounce a little bit in surprise. He held out his hand for her and with her one hand still over her bruise she placed her free hand in his. With his help she was then off the ground and Violet said softly a little awkwardly,"Thank you.." Violet then took her free hand and brushed her dress off.
A couple of seconds went by and then she looked at him and asked,"How does it look?" Violet then lowered her hand letting him take a look at the bruise forming on her cheek.
When she put her hand in his, Christopher felt his stomach swoop, like it always used to when they had been dating. Merlin, it had been so long. He missed her a lot. But too much had happened. He started to wonder if they'd ever be something more again, but quickly shook it from his mind. He shouldn't think about that, especially not with her here.
"Oh, er, not at all." It was the least he could do for kicking her in the face.
After a few moments, that felt way longer, of awkward silence, he was incredibly relieved when she changed the subject. However, he winced a little looking at her bruise. It didn't look good at all. With a little laugh, while still wincing, to keep conversation lighter, he said,
"Well, erm...... It's pretty bad." The purple and blue spot above her right eye seemed to swell more and more by the second.
"God, I'm sorry... You may want to have Soph- er, Mrs. Skylar check that out." The funeral last summer had proven her healing magic to be quite impressive after she knocked out his mum and then brought her back up.
Thinking about that day, and mostly his fight with Selina, he spoke up again, before she could turn back towards the house.
"Hey... Do you... wanna sit?" he asked, nodding towards the endge of the lake, on a large rock easily big enough for the two to sit on without being too close for comfort. He had something important to say.
