Blinking and shaking his head, unsure exactly what to say, Ewan sat there and just watched as Chloe left. Even as she walked through the door, he couldn’t even bring himself to run after her, not even when she squeezed Curtis’ arms. All he could do was sit and watch as everyone slowly made their way out of the Prefect’s compartment, only mumbling a reply to Chloe, “Thanks. Have a good summer” .

The relief that spread across his face when Jillian walked through the door though must have been something. Now they could start the meeting and he could leave and take a moment to gather his thoughts. “I’m fine Jillian. I’m ready to start our meeting whenever you are” . Let it be know that he was not sad or moody or having a pout or whatever else despite the drama around him! He was fine! F I N E. FINE!
