23.

I passed the early August days away by doing as I was told and laying low. I wrote to Lindy and Kohl, keeping the tone of the letters light so they wouldn’t sense my loneliness and so it wouldn’t cause a ripple of distress to tremble through my heart, across Calliel and to theirs. And I stopped counting jewellery on the girls- pretending like my eyes were as allergic to the sight of it as my skin was to the touch, and that little mind trick helped keep me calm in Kelia’s company- that and the fact that I kept my fist curled around the most valuable piece of jewellery in the kingdom- my wooden wave ring.

Four months, and I could be free, and with the version of Kohén who was not spoiled by indulgence...

As though he’d taken on his mother’s advice to me as well, Kohén became a ghost who could only occasionally be glimpsed on the grounds. He started running a lot along the perimeter fence, and surfing often in the freezing cold water, and the only time I saw him inside was if he was going down to the study to have a meeting with his father and other important nobles (which he’d started doing a LOT) or to the training room. I knew that he was preparing himself to kick my ass in the next examinations, but I refused to compete with anyone but myself and practiced my dancing in my room instead of seeking out a tutor with my curtains drawn, so that no one would sniff out my ambition.

Besides, according to the test results, I didn’t have nearly as much room to improve as he did, so why exhaust myself? Hadn’t I worked hard enough for no reason already? Didn’t I deserve the chance to relax and sulk and be a heartbroken seventeen-year-old for once?
