"You're really lucky Matthew took the blame for the ruined plate and missing fork," Evelynn once again reminded Dandelion sitting atop her dining table back in her appartement.
"If he hadn't taken the blame and told them he had accidentally ruined them while showing off his powers as an awakened, we could have been in real trouble," she continued, looking straight at her little companion.
Thinking back to how Matthew had offered to take the blame for the ruined plate and fork, and how he had even offered Evelynn his salmon when she explained that Dandelion had consumed her food, she smiled.
She wasn't sure how many times a smile had sneaked its way to her lips since they parted, but she felt lighter than she had in years.
And thinking back to how Matthew had offered Dandelion his plate as well when she declined his food, her smile once again blossomed.
