I don’t know how I managed to get away from Charlotte. One minute she was holding onto me and begging me to skip classes with her then she all of a sudden shook off her sadness and headed to her first lesson.
I think it probably had something to do with Ryker being in her first lesson. Maybe that thought had suddenly occurred to her. If so she clearly thought that he would provide a better shoulder to cry on than I did. She was probably right, I could be sympathetic but I always seemed to end up saying the wrong thing.
After that she probably followed him around all morning like some sort of lost puppy. He wouldn’t be happy about that, I am sure that I will get an earful from him about it later. It will be like the trip to the cottage all over again. Oh well, at least it got her away fr
