**HOLLIS'S POV**
Addie didn't have a lot of time after Karola and I left her earlier. She had to get to her office to prepare for the next class. She was always so busy these days, almost too busy. I knew that she was happy though, that she was enjoying her time teaching, learning, and everything else that she was doing while here at the academy. So, I didn't feel the need to worry about her all that much.
There was a lot that I needed to do now as well. So much that was going to change for me, Karola, and even Ash. I wanted to make sure that we were all there for each other, able to support each other. However, most of all, I needed to make sure that Ash knew and understood what was going on. He needed to be told what had happened with me, Addie, and Karola when we went to talk after the assembly.
