A day had gone by, and without trouble from Damian, I fell back into a normal routine.
Even Hale, Talon, and James had made their apologies and explained their wishes to start over and form a better relationship with me. No way did I hold back on showing them how upset I was. That leaving someone in the dark on what everything meant wasn’t acceptable.
Remorse was evident, and even though I was angry I forgave them.
Perhaps, I didn’t feel the bond like they did because I was human. But it was no excuse for me not to be forgiven because for them the bond is like the air they breathe. When I had cut them off for a short time, it was like I severed an extension of themselves.
Realizing that brought forth guilt I didn’t think about– at the time I only was worried about myself.
“Ivy, did you want to have lunch with us today after classes?” James questioned from my open cottage door as I grabbed the last of my items for school.
