Lena chuckled slightly - this term was right; next term would be a whole different ball game, that was for sure. But as Chris said her name, Lena looked back up at him and his change in tone and saw that he wasn't looking at her. She held her breath without thinking about it--- what was he going to say?

When he went on to tell her, though, Lena only barely let out her breath; it wasn't what she was expecting, but it was still pretty upsetting to him - obviously. At his question, Helena walked over to where he was and laid a gentle hand on his arm. I don't know, she said honestly, glad that her voice was steady while her thoughts were not, But we're going to find out Chris. She couldn't promise how soon, but this was hurting him and she would help him find out what was going on.
