But try as he might, he couldn’t guess what Claudine was feeling in that moment, and if he couldn’t guess her feelings, how could he make things better? He remained silent, lost in thought for several moments. “I’m still sorry you got a detention, no matter who is responsible for it,” he said when he finally found his voice. Should he leave it there or…?
If he couldn’t read her emotions, maybe cluing her in to his was the next best thing… Or maybe that could backfire completely and scare her away, he thought, but he’d never know unless he tried. With a sigh, he forced himself on, “I can’t stand seeing anything bad happen to you because…” He allowed his voice to trail off, stopping himself from saying the “L” word just in time. Telling her that again would make him seem weird and clingy; he would wait until he knew she felt the same toward him. “You know why.”
Heath looked up from his untouched drink, smiling slightly at Claudine’s words, though his expression soon changed. “I don’t think anybody expected that,” he replied, feelings of confusion and betrayal once again flaring as his thoughts turned to Headmaster Trent. Maybe he had a bad day too, and that was why he acted so… off? Never mind, it didn’t matter… there was no excuse for the way he treated everyone, so what was the point in guessing? He turned his attention back to Claudine, willing himself not to think about it. “It will be better,” he said firmly, the words meant as a promise more than a pep talk. It would be better because he’d do everything he could to make it so!
Claudine’s next words had him laughing out loud. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you only kept me around to be your personal chef!” he joked, chuckling to himself a little. He was just kidding; she knew that, right? Just in case, he added, “Jokes aside, it’s not bugging me. You can ask me anytime.”
Now that she thought of Heath’s word of him being sorry that she had gotten detention in general, she was more relaxed. At least she was happy to leave it at that; it had been no one’s fault, especially Heath’s. Even if it had been, there was no way that she’d hold it against him. A sudden dull but noticeable blus graced her cheeks at his next words. “I know,’’ was her reply, unable to meet Heath’s eyes at the same time. But there was a hint of a smile as her the ends of her lips were curled upwards slightly.
Claudine nodded. She agreed. Hardly anyone would expect their first day back to be so… stressful. She was looking forward to heading down to the barn to see the creatures there. They would no doubt boost her mood further. “It’s already starting to be, thanks to you.’’ The girl took the time immediately afterwards to take a long drink of the latte.
When the mug was lowered, she was laughing. Actually laughing. No, Heath’s talent with caramelatte was not the reason she kept him around. “You might regret those words after I take advantage of your kindness, Heath.’’ But he already knew that she’d never do that. Heath always knew her better than anyone else. |
