Whether she wanted to admit it or not, isolation had an effect on Freya. All that time alone with her thoughts, going over all of their anger and all of her mistakes that she barely understood that she made -- it made her draw into herself, guilty and confused and scared of making another mistake. So when the person across from her asked a question about the homework, she looked like a cornered animal, gaze flickering between them and the paper and her heart began to race.

“Have you seen these cottages? With these and the buffet, I think I could live here forever!”

Getting the feeling like someone was staring at her, Caroline tried not to look at the person next to her until she couldn’t take it anymore. Turning her head, she gave them a look as if to say ‘what do you want’?

“S’ppose I can’t make that ‘ALL-RIGHT’ joke because I’m not.”

“No, it’s not a fucking cross. It’s, uh, one of those symbols from Sweden or Norway or whatever. Runes, I think they’re called.”

“So, who else is way too delicate for the sun and doesn’t like swimming and is planning on spending this entire trip in a blanket fort?”
