The pure black of the night made the moon look beautiful and was comforting, like a generous velvet that kept me safe. The sky was freckled with stars and the air was cold. Street lamps illuminated our surroundings and people on the road were either headed to the dining hall or to the buildings they lived in while we were headed to Carina's house.
We didn't leave immediately after supper because Kamal came to the dining hall and said he needed to talk with Carina. We all knew he wanted to talk to her because he wanted to leave tomorrow and I doubted that Cassandra would be able to change his mind if she had showed up.
