Ice cream? He thought he could make this better...

...with ice cream.

Scoffing, Evelyn turned away with a smile on her face as she shook her head. She didn't know why she was smiling, but she was. And, she couldn't hold in the tears any longer, which was why she was walking back to the classroom to gather her things, head hung slightly as her eyes stared at the blurry floor in front of her, shoulders shaking, and just with a whole defeated posture.

She needed to get her stuff before going to hide in the dormitory and in her bed with the curtains shut to block out everything else. Maybe she could sleep, and when she woke up, this would all just have been a nightmare. She'd recently been forgetting to take that potion Lafay gave her, and her nights weren't all that great, so this was just one of them. Just a bad dream.

The thought of it being a nightmare made her smile once more as she finally held herself up as she reached the classroom. Just a nightmare. Everything would be better if she could only wake up from it.
