Even more complications…

After I finished my work, I suddenly realized that I was supposed to be heading towards Samil's apartment. I wasn't too eager to see Samil's face. That was not how I imagined the day after our first night together. It felt awkward and upsetting. I went outside the TVM's headquarters and started walking. I didn't know how far I walked, but I found myself in the park. Natural surroundings quickly helped me put my mind at ease, for a bit at least.

I was walking through the green lanes thinking about what I should do now. I needed to talk to someone, someone who could understand me as a woman and me as a witch. I had one possible choice. I called Grandma.

As soon as she answered the phone, she put Kira on the speaker, so they could both listen to the news. I told them briefly about my quarrel with Camilla, and how I got the list of spies working for Artois. I finally said that I slept with Samil, but that I couldn't even name that thing we had, a real relationship.
