replied with a pout, trying not to think of what he had said, my cheeks turning light pink. Was it bad that I was looking forward to tonight? She laughed at my expression, I shook my head as we carried on down the path. I was relieved, knowing what this meant to Charlene, and the fact her powers were sealed meant they couldn’t keep pushing her so ruthlessly in training.
