And he was, after all, still willing to be anywhere near her...HEATHER...he suddenly remembered her name, rather than just avoiding her altogether despite it meaning he would remain alone for the time being.
Hope smiled and just leaned back in her chair looking around. Well, it wasn't too hard to apologize. She would have to try that more often. She took a deep breath and flexed her fingers. The joints were killing her and she would give anything for it to stop.
"Crazy stuff this year, right? What with a majority of the school population aging." Herself included, not that anyone would be able to tell. A box of hair color and a small potion for the wrinkles soothed everything...except the joints.
