After thinking hard and long, for her own sanity, Amelia had decided to keep a safe distance from Denver Brooks. In the days that came, she tried not to make any eye contact with him or be in the same space as him. Denver, too, didn't approach her, which was a huge plus, but there was some lingering disappointment within her.

"After such gruelling midterms, we are finally going to do some fun activities. Hiking in the mountains. Our school isn't that heartless after all," Perry said while wiping a fake tear from the corner of her eye.

"Lia~ …. aren't you excited?" Perry asked when she got no response.
"I am," Amelia tried to sound cheerful.
