It’s been a week since Spencer and I were able to get those first few Binds off of me. In that time, I have tried to avoid him as much as possible. He has still made me go up to the roof with him two more times, and we have been successful in removing every Bind but one. Spencer says that it must be keeping me from doing something important, and so he is bound and determined to keep trying. In the meantime, I have found working with Reece every day on my abilities to be a breeze, even though he doesn’t seem to challenge me much. I’m beginning to wonder if that is because I have surpassed his level of ability, but I don’t want to hurt his feelings by suggesting it. So, I keep my mouth shut during our lessons and then, when I am alone in my room, I try to push the boundaries of what he has taught and come up with new ideas to try on my own. In all honesty, I’m pretty bored just hanging around the building. It’s either spend time trying to remove this final Bind with Spencer, or work on magic with Reece. Cass has been distant since the morning after my nightmare, and the other occupants of the building still seem wary or downright unfriendly towards me. I wish Spencer would hold a meeting with all of them and clear my name, but I don’t expect him to do anything that wouldn’t help him or the cause out. He obviously doesn’t think my ability to make friends with the other members of this organization would better either right now.

This afternoon, I am in a den near the ops room working with Reece on halting Binds. This room looks like one of those formal living rooms that old rich people have in their homes, you know the kind where the furniture is stiff and usually a white or cream color and no one has ever sat on any of it. I should feel right at home here—we had two such rooms back at the Brand palace—but I don’t. We work here every day and from the get go, I opted to sit on the rug rather than lounge on the hard sofa like Reece. Maybe that’s the problem, it reminds me too much of my former home to really be able to relax. It’s hard to imagine that a couple with a child would ever have need of this type of room, but I digress.

Reece has been trying to teach me how to suspend his motion. It is the same Bind that Spencer did to me that day out at the explosion site. Reece is a good teacher. I have been pretty quick to learn everything he’s told me to do. Yesterday I learned how to make myself disappear from view for a few minutes. It doesn’t last long, but might be helpful to avoid Spencer the next time he comes looking for me to work with him up on the roof.
