SPOILER!!: Heath! <3 Quote:

He had no idea how, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d just said something very wrong. Now he was sort of glad he didn’t launch into an apology! He wasn’t exactly hurt by her words, just taken aback, and more than anything, he was conflicted.
Deep down, part of him knew Claudine was right, but there was no way he could not blame himself for what happened. The fact remained that she wouldn’t have been in a situation to make that decision if it hadn’t been for his misguided attempt to protect her. He knew she didn’t need his protection, but he couldn’t have sat by and done nothing after Trent was so awful to her. Doing so would go against everything he knew, just as being okay with causing her misfortune (no matter how minor) did. But he didn’t want to argue about it, especially since she seemed to have already moved on. “I know,” he replied, nodding slightly.
Heath absentmindedly stirred his caramellatte as he tried to think of something else to say, but he didn’t have much time to think before Claudine spoke again. He wouldn’t know if his day was better or worse than hers without more details for comparison, but he wasn’t sure whether or not he should ask about her day. He knew she wasn’t the type to pour her heart out, and if something bad besides the DADA lesson happened, she might not want to talk about it. “Thanks. It’s a lot better now,” he said with a small smile. “Sorry you had a tough day.”
Somehow, as she reflected now, Claudine doubted that her words were comforting to Heath. Humans were so difficult to interact with. She almost face-palmed herself but in typical Claudine fashion, she decided to stay silent since she was one hundred percent sure that she was going to say all the words in the wrong way. She honestly wanted to say Heath, it’s not your fault, I promise. But no, the words wouldn’t come now even though she felt that the moment hadn’t passed as yet. Even though Heath had acknowledged he was not responsible for her, she wasn't sure she had chosen her words carefully enough.
Their little conversation was enough to distract her somewhat. “Well, that’s something,’’ Claudine said, smiling and feeling legitimately happy for Heath. It seemed like both of their days had improved and that was something. She shrugged then. “Bad days happen. I just hadn’t expected it to be on the first day back.’’ The girl forced herself not to think of Trent. “Maybe the rest of the week will be better. Just not with homework…’’ There was a small chuckle at her latter remark. Claudine raised the cup to take another drink. “I might bug you to make caramelatte often for me,’’ came her warning immediately after. |
