Olaf waved. “Hi, Maximillian.”

Shit. He noticed me, and I would have to talk to him, since there was a good chance I could run into him again. Olaf was eight years older than me and gave me magic lessons after Grandma died. By taking my magic to another level as a result of me wanting to learn self-defense. He was also the one who broke my heart.

“It’s good to see you,” Olaf said walking over to me.

“You, too, Olaf.”

He continued staring at me. “How have you been?”

“My parents died.” I looked at a crack in the sidewalk.

“I’m sorry to hear that,” he said.

“Thanks.”

Damn. This was uncomfortable. Olaf wasn’t getting the hint that I didn’t want to talk to him. He was a lot of things, but he wasn’t stupid.

Olaf sighed. “Are you staying with anyone?”

“My parents left me well provided for. Apparently, they planned for a rainy day.” I chuckled, no matter how morbid it seemed, because it was the only thing I could do.
