There she sat, melted in the peach hues of the setting sun, breaking off pieces of bread crumbs to feed to the school's koi fish. The butterflies that resided only for her were tame as he took in her half-lidded stare, the small smile she always wore gone.
"What are you doing?" Cadmus started.

"Why?"
It wasn't what he meant to ask. He couldn't care less about any animal she'd take a liking to. It had just come out easier than any other thoughts plaguing his mind the past month.
"They seemed hungry." Blair shrugged.
