The middle of summer came too soon. All of the men in Ilmir had passed the adjusted version of the lowest tier Warrior exam so the time had come for the camp to move on, leaving behind a few broken hearts.
Several teen girls had fallen for the charms of some Warrior or other who would be leaving. A few seemed like they planned on coming back to stay but others were unwilling to commit after braving a winter here.
They wanted to go home and Abby couldn't really blame them. Teenage girls got over crushes quickly for the most part; they should bounce back within a few months.
Besides, now that she was almost universally declared off-the-market (despite insisting that she and Blaise weren't engaged) the boys who had been crushing on her were officially over it and starting to look more seriously at other girls closer to their ages.
