The heart

The cumulative stress of recovering from the wedding and launching straight into exams had had it’s toll on Dominique. She came out of the exam hall tired and drained, wishing she could go back and correct the mistakes she already knew she’d made. Concentration had been an issue for her lately.

“I’m sure it’s not that bad. I’m not happy myself. I hope they’ll be lenient with us because of the circumstances. I’m not on for a drink but I can watch you. You can always visit me ! Or invite me to your beach house.”

“I do hope you’ll pass but that is kind of bad to leave it to fate.”

Cassie, no. I wasn’t even there, I’d have nothing to talk about. It’d be unfair to people who acctually need it

I thought you were. So many people attended. But yes if you don’t need it, there isn’t much point in comming. 

“I know, but I can’t help dreaming.”

“Maybe you’ll have a cute doctor.”

Sure thing Cass, I’ve got time

Great ! Thanks ! It’s for my support group. I hope more people will come.

Well, I’ll try and counter that and get all the people I know to come. Don’t even worry. 

You’re amazing ! Thank you.

“I can’t keep mooching of Lawrence forever.”

“Is it just for the summer ? Or on a more permanent basis ?”

Excuse me? What’s going on here?

“Just hanging some posters. Care to help me ?”

Hogsmeade

“Hey ! I didn’t know you were working here. There are so many new people.”

This year sure went fast. I can’t believe it’s almost summer again. Do you and your brothers have any plans?

I’m kind of relieved to be at the end to be honest. Not really or he hasn’t told me. I just want to be with my family and friends. Do you have plans ?

Okay, well, Tyler Alvarez is a little shit and everyone knows that. Whoever’s acting like him is probably the same. 

Maybe. I just hope they don’t deter people who want or needs to come.

Cassie. This is me we’re talking about

I know. But Prue will probably be here and I know for sure Johanna is coming. You should be confortable with them and it’s a safe place.

“Traumatizing… freeing.” She snorts, taking a drag from her cigarette. She decided to read the humming in her veins as excitement rather than anxiety. “They lived. Don’t understand why they need to talk about anything. Just silly, really. They should be out living.”

“We’re lucky to be alive but that doesn’t mean we are fine. It’s been a horrible time. Talking can help you get better. Instead of doing all those nasty things.” She gestured at Mila’s cigarette.

Impossible when you exist in zah world

You’re going to make me blush

“I just want to get home and see everyone now. I need this ordeal to be over.”

“I don’t know if that is going to be possible. They might want to keep you in observation for the night.”
