“Good.”

Ben picked up his pen again, letting the topic drop, but his gaze lingered on her for just a moment longer before returning to his work.

Evin forced herself to concentrate on the next problem, but a small trace of unease remained.

Not when she finally felt like she was regaining control over her body and her training.

The A-Team

Henri:

Okay, guys, the Valentine’s event is tomorrow.

Let’s not embarrass ourselves, alright? It’s already big enough without us making a scene.

Bas:

Sure, Henri, because we’re always known for our discreet behavior.

Chris:

Especially you, Bas. You’re the definition of ‘low profile.’

Felix:

I heard there’s a chocolate fountain. Wanna bet someone makes a mess?

Dominik:

My money’s on Bas. He’s got a talent for drama. Or for attracting people who bring drama. ??

Bas:

Drop it, Dominik. No one asked for your opinion.

Bellamy:

Not drawing attention? Hmm. Sounds boring. But okay, I’ll try.

Chris:

I bet one of us still ends up in the yearbook.

Felix:

If it happens, I hope it’s for something good. Like: Felix saves the event moment.

Dominik:

More like: Felix eats the entire chocolate fountain and knocks it over.

Bas:

I’m betting Dominik says something that screws us all over.
