CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

When Saturday morning dawned, it was with dread rather than relief that I greeted the weekend. I was supposed to be having lunch with Matthew today, and I desperately wished I hadn’t agreed to it. I was tempted to cancel on him because this only felt like another opportunity for him to remind me of all the ways I wasn’t living up to the LaFleur name. I couldn’t bring myself to bail on him though because a small, silly part of me hoped he’d prove me wrong.

More than anything, I wished it were my mom who was waiting for me at lunch. It was only a week since I’d seen her last, but it felt like forever had passed, and I knew it would be a while still before I saw her again. I’d probably have to wait until I had enough time to make the trip home, and given it was more than a day’s bus ride, I imagined it would be Christmas before I could get back.

I took my time as I got ready for the day. I was normally such a morning person, but it was hard to garner my normal enthusiasm when I just wanted the day to be over with. I spent forever in the shower, washing my hair and letting the hot water run over my face. I still wasn’t confident about jogging on my ankle, and the warm shower was the next best way I could think of to clear my mind.

When I emerged from the bathroom, Cress was already dressed for dance practice, and I felt a rush of guilt. She’d been happily asleep before I got in the shower, and I’d taken so long she’d clearly had to get ready without the use of the bathroom.

“Sorry for taking so long in the shower,” I said. “You should have knocked.”

“Don’t be silly,” Cress reassured me. “I’ll grab a shower after practice. I just need to jump in there to brush my teeth.”

She went into the bathroom and came out a second later with her toothbrush in her mouth. “You better get dressed,” she said, nodding at the towel that was still wrapped around me. “Anna came by while you were in the shower and said she’d be back in a minute so you guys can grab breakfast together. You know how she gets when she’s hungry.”

Cress returned to the bathroom to spit out her toothpaste before flitting back into the room and grabbing her bag off the bed. She was normally a bit of a zombie in the mornings, but perhaps that was just on school days. She seemed to be bounding with energy today.

“We’ve got tryouts today, so I’ll be at practice for the next few hours, but we should go hang out by the lake this afternoon.”

“Sounds good,” I said. “I have to head into town around lunch, but hopefully I’ll be back by then.”

“Perfect.” She hesitated by the door. “Are you sure I can’t convince you to try out?”

“Not even a confundus charm could convince me it’s a good idea.
