She leaned down on the gate and would wait until dark. Then she could run back to the castle before she got into trouble for being out after dark.
Oliver wandered out to the front gate, hands in pockets and half expecting Kay not to show. He wouldn't blame her after the fiasco in the flower garden. ...But there she was sitting by the gate and looking sad.
He sat down beside her and gave her a soft smile.
“Hey.” He said. The apologies for what happened last year now seemed to pale into insignificance following how distraught the girl got earlier for other reasons.
“How are you feeling?” He asked her.
“I'm here if you wanna talk, cos I'm a good listener you know.” Surprisingly so for boy who appeared so cocky and self absorbed most of the time. He sighed and gazed towards the castle.
“...Um.. does Rex often treat you that way?” He asked quietly with a frown.
