Blaise had been experiencing a lot of conflicted thoughts and emotions ever since he saw the tiny woman now sitting in front of him launch herself at Abby in the street. He was happy that she was able to find her sister again—of course he was, with how much she talked about it—but felt a heavy sense of loss.
If he wasn't able to convince all of the necessary parties to go along with his plan for the military he would likely never see her again after this. He had expected to be ignored after the reunion she dreamed about for so long but hadn't expected that it would actually sting.
He sat through over an hour of the most unbelievable story he had ever heard without her looking at him once. It seemed like everyone had forgotten he was there until Katie thanked him for bringing her here safely.
