"Thanks." I pushed my hair over my shoulder and rested my head against her door. "Maybe I could come over tonight after dinner? Pm halfway through the history of witchcraftbook, and it's pretty fascinating."

"Of course," she said sympathetically."Poor baby." She patted my shoulder. "Look, just lie low for a while, let it all blow over. And you know you can come over and read or just hang out anytime.
