The week before the full moon, Violet barely saw Carl. It was not that she was avoiding him; Violet was just very busy. She had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, and Yana and Violet had agreed that after such a breakthrough in her magic, she should practice as much as possible. Violet still saw Carl at mealtimes and in class. So it was not like there was any weirdness. If at all there was, it was not from her side.
She had briefly thought that he would return her feelings, but she had been mistaken. That did not have to make things weird. It was one moment of poor judgment, and she was not going to spend the rest of her life mortified about it. She had to share a bond with him, so she would have to lock those feelings away and never let Carl sense them again. Things will go back to norm
