~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. He was still angry with her, Claudine didn’t need anyone to tell her that. Usually, she wouldn’t care a bit but the guilt about the fate of some of Fuller-Thompson’s dogs weighed heavily on her shoulders. She slumped unhappily in her seat as though trying to hide from him (essentially, this is what she aimed to do). What hurt most is that Bernie didn’t sit by her but Claudine mentally kicked herself almost immediately after this realisation. This was one reason why she hated getting close to anyone: they hurt you eventually.
Claudine tried to remain hidden even though her attention was focused on her Head of House’s voice. There were a few answers that occurred to her but would she speak up? No. |
