The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

[She gingerly touches the unstained parts of the leather, smoothing her fingertips over it with utmost care. She and Peregrine may have butted heads from day one but she'd have to be especially dense not to see how much this means to her. How much Connor meant to her.

She feels her chest tighten and, just for a second, it hurts to breathe.]

Give me a day. [Her voice is soft and lacking the practiced, patient tone she usually has.] I'll get it cleaned up and back to you by tomorrow.

[ Peregrine's almost afraid to let go of it. She keeps her hand on the leather. She looks Hester in the eye, with none of her usual challenge. ]

Thank you. [ ...... ] Your Wizard can go to hell.

[ Even that's quiet. ]
