Kapitel 48: On a double date

Avana had avoided Adam for the rest of lunch after another unexpected encounter with him. She just did not like the effect his presence had on her. 

"Ava, we are going in thirty minutes to the festival," Jace said as he packed up his supplies in the clinic and cleaned up after his last patient. "I will take it from here."

She tried to help out a little while he performed his examination of his patients, wanting to earn her keep. She could not be a freeloader for the rest of her short stay here.

Maybe it would be good for her to go out with Jace. It would divert her mind away from him. She merely needed a few hours to recover from this day, and she would be good as new. 

"Ok." She managed to respond as she dropped the rag she was using to wipe the table. "Are you sure you are good here?" She still asked. When he nodded, she proceeded to her room.
