Jude
Her avoidance of him has been noted, has kept him up at night wondering if they are somehow already drifting apart or if he has done something wrong or maybe she just has more interesting friends now-
Either way, he hasn’t pushed. The only comfort has been Harper gently telling him she would come around, and something in his eyes had settled Jude’s insides.
Those insides don’t feel so calm right now.
His parents are still with the healer, unwilling to move Maeve so soon. When Sohalia steps inside the house, she’ll find only Jude - sitting on the couch, head in his hands, shoulders tense and heel of one foot bouncing away. At the sound of the door Jude lifts his head, revealing reddened, swollen eyes and a pallid face. “Soh,” he chokes out like a prayer, and stands immediately. He bumps into the arm of the couch gracelessly as he rounds it, grabbing her up into his arms using his taller stature and burying his face into her shoulder as his own begin to shake. “I found her. I really found her.”
