Then Cami was answering his question, and he nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean; I'm the same way," he said.
Gaston returned Cami's smile with a small, though slightly sad one of his own as the conversation turned to Emmeline. It broke his heart to think of all that poor girl had gone through last term, and he wanted to help in any way he could! Her situation hit a little too close to home for him... not the abandonment, of course, but the parental disapproval was something he could relate to! He bowed his head to hide the sadness in his eyes, but hearing that she was doing better now eased his mind.
Then cami's question jerked him out of his thoughts. "Yes, it is," he replied, smiling a little. He was glad she seemed to like that idea. "I don't know if it's in the library, but I have an idea where it would be if it is..." See, having a librarian for a mother came in handy sometimes! "Well, unless Kalen put it somewhere here in the maze anyway. Maybe we should search here first?"
Oh! Cami smiled listening as Gaston said his mother and brother were coming for the holiday's.
"That sounds wonderful, no doubt that you're very excited to have them come?" It seemed like he was though one never could be to sure honestly.
"I would love to meet them if you all have the time. Perhaps we all could have dinner one night, that way you'll get to see Emmeline outside of Hogwarts as well." A nice friendly dinner just the six of them... make that seven she would ask Kay to come as well.
"There's so many books that appeal to me for different reasons."
Oh, no. Not that sad smile. Camilla gave the man standing before her a smile and a gentle playful nudge.
"Don't get all sad on me, Gaston. She's doing really well for a girl her age and with each day she's opening up to me more and more." It was a bit slow going at times but it was all progress and any progress at this stage of things was good progress.
He thought he knew where the book might be in the library. This was good and made her smile.
"That sounds like a good idea. A walk through here and if we don't find it we can check the shelves." Then as a last resort she would ask Kalen if need be. With a smile and a purpose to her steps, Cami turned to fall into step beside Gaston making her way down the closest aisle in the maze of books.
