Minerva was grinning from ear to ear, there was nothing taking the smile off her face lately and Ethan’s words just kept it goofy and huge. He had that way about him to always make her smile. Today even more than usual. “I’m glad you think you made the right choice. Sometimes I wonder if you think differently.” She chuckled a bit knowing she wasn’t the easiest person at times and all the drama she had helped cause last term, but they made it through. Hearing his words again she blushed deeply, oh yeah right.. “Let’s not remind me of my moment of dumbness.” She laughed, really Oakey.. How on earth did she ever have a crush on him? They were back to being friends.. she thought, but still how did she ever like him for a moment.. crazy! “I.. think I’ll just play the forget card, don’t know what on earth you’re talking about.” She smiled and started laughing again.

A small blush crossed her face, “Well Ethan McCarthy are you trying to gain brownie points? It’s working if you are.” She leaned kissing his cheek again. How she adored him and loved their little moments like this. She kicked her foot a bit feeling a bit fidgety, she needed to move a bit and jumped up from the chair, “Drinks! Why don’t I get those.” She smiled widely at him before heading to the fridge. “What do you want?” Pulling a pumpkin juice out for herself. Hmmm ice cream sounded great at the moment and she moved her hand up to the freezer, no.. no dinner was almost ready. She turned and waited for him to answer what he wanted.

She nodded and smiled, “I loved your private lesson. I think I did pretty well too.” She thought about Christmas break. If you got rid of being sick for four days the rest was wonderful. “I loved skiing. We will have to do it again. I need to get better.” She always wanted to get better at things, so going again would help that. She smiled sweetly at him, she really did appreciate his understanding of her family and everything that had gone on. “I think you know everything about me now, don’t you?” Honestly he had heard and even seen part of the worst that could be. So what else was there to learn. She tried to figure out if she felt she knew everything about him as well. She thought she dd at least.

She was worried about this for so many reasons. She wasn’t wanting him to leave, leave her, but she worried he would like it, that he would do everything he could. She didn’t want to be the reason he held back. It was all just so confusing and so hard to think about. “Change can be hard, but I know you’re going to have a great time. You are going to have so many new experience, meet so many new people.” Eeep that’s something she was super worried about, not that she didn’t want him to meet new people, but what.. what if.. oh she really needed that ice cream right now.. She fidgeted a bit trying to not freak out. Nice time.. nice time. How many months left.. stop Min. She was able to regain her smile with his questioning of himself and she grabbed his hand squeezing. “I don’t think Ethan, I know. You are going to be fantastic. It will be a different level, but you will be too.” She always had faith in him, she knew he was going to do great things.

She watched as he hurried to get the food out. She tried to not laugh, she would never laugh at him, but the fact that they both said their distracted with the other made him forgetting the oven that much better. “Is it alright?” She cringed hoping it would be. She didn’t want him to be upset that she distracted and forgot herself.
