I'm sure they do. I have to admit I was beginning to suspect the healers were right when they said he wouldn't wake. He still has severe injuries and his leg - Wallace still has quite the way to go, but he's awake.

I never would have imagined the staff at school to be so thoughtless. I'm even sorrier now for the girls than I was before. What a horrible thing to face on what was meant to be a great first night.

There's no need to be sorry or worry. It was for the best, I think. Now he can focus on his training and I can learn how to navigate all my new circumstances without worrying how it might impact him. It's weird not having him involved in my day to day life anymore, but I suspect that'll fade in time. I'm okay, truly.
