[attr="class","cbody"]Constance honestly just couldn’t wait until this week was over. By the time the week came to a close, she would be done with her exams and she would not have to worry about Lufkin again until the autumn term started. The decision not to take summer classes was definitely the right decision given everything else that was going on. Avalon would pull most of her focus throughout the summer, as always, and she’d probably spend the rest of the time planning the wedding and dealing with the fact that she had an actual guard following her around all of the time.
[break][break]
As much as her matka told them all that it was necessary until the ICW left, Constance found the constant looming presence of her guard entirely annoying. Most of her time was spent trying to get rid of him. If he didn’t have magic, that would be a lot easier to do. But unfortunately for her, a quick apparition was always a lot harder to pull off when he had the capability of following her. But it certainly didn’t stop her from trying.
[break][break]
Today, she’d had only one final to take on campus, with her trusty guard going right along with her. It irritated her more on campus, where she didn’t feel in danger in the slightest but did feel like every single person that she passed was well aware of the fact that she had a guard with her. Not that she normally minded staring, but this was a situation where she would rather not have the attention. She didn’t want people whispering and wondering why she had security all of a sudden and it was obvious to her that it had caught people’s eyes.
[break][break]
So, she was just glad to be done with Lufkin for the day and by the end of the week, she would be done with it for a couple of months. Summer could not come quickly enough.

Constance wished that the borders weren’t still closed. She really thought that she could use a break from the United Kingdom for a while. She didn’t care where she went. It was just getting tiring being trapped here. She felt like she needed to get out, but there was just nowhere for her to go. There was the option of seeing if it was possible for her matka to pull some strings or ask Josef or even just ask Sylvestr or anyone to see if she could somehow get passed the wards. But she knew that her matka would never let her hear the end of it if she went over her head for a chance to get out of the country, and her matka would likely say no before she even got the full sentence out.
[break][break]
No, the chances of her getting out of the United Kingdom before the borders opened up again was slim to none, and she knew it. Constance just had to keep her mind occupied as much as possible. School and Avalon did that, as did wedding planning, her time spent at the piano, and every other obligation that she had. Eventually, she had to think that things would go back to normal. Hopefully, anyway. When it did, then they could move on from there.
[break][break]
For now, she’d decided that she wanted to spend at least a little bit of time trying to convince her twin to take a break with her. It was just about lunchtime, which meant it was the perfect time to pop into HOME and see what Temperance was doing. Since she had moved in with Liam, she saw less of her family than she liked. Before, they all had busy schedules but they still ended up back at the same place every night. Now, she went to a different home every night and only saw her family when they somehow lined their schedules up with each other. Since she had gotten done with her exam early, it was absolutely nothing to apparate over to HOME to see if her sister had lunch plans.
[break][break]
Of course, she apparated down an alley, because she still felt entirely too braggy using magic around anyone in her family that had lost theirs. And it was also the best way to slip her guard. Worth a shot anyway. It would probably end badly. Either it would work but she was about to walk into a building with more guards, and her matka would find out that she’d slipped him again. Or it wouldn’t work and he’d end up right at the magazine anyway. But she was able to slip into the building and head for her twin’s desk, with no sign of her guard. Maybe she had managed to get rid of him for the time being. “I’m here to relieve you,” she teased, coming to a stop in front of the desk. “You work far too hard and I want to get lunch.”
