Ash had been happy the past two days.  She had been utterly happy talking to Vera, playingwith the babies, and making cookies with Scarlett.  She was slightly surpised she hadn't seen Ryan around since Christmas, especally since she had seen him so much recently, but she hoped he was off doing fun things with Gage.  But then, she had heard about his present to James, and she couldn't believe it.  She was in shock, both good and also confusion.  But with growing agitation she couldn't find Ryan to yell at him like she wanted to.  It was only after looking for him all over the school that she heard what had happened with him and Zeven.  Her heart dropped, and she began to feel hot. Not again, she thought, and she sprinted as fast as her legs could take her to the infirmary.

She ran into it and then saw him.  She was hidden from the corner she stood, but she could still see him.  Her heart lurched at the bandages, but she calmed herself down.  The last thing he would want was her to be more upset, and she knew it.  Her heart was pounding, and she felt close to tears.  Maybe it was just from the memory of being here last time but her vision almost felt blurry and her body felt hot again.  But she ignored it.  Now was not the time for that at all.
