"The wrong side...?" Squeezing his fingers, Seren slowly let go and wrapped her arms around herself. "I thought you just said you were on my side." Was that wrong? Or right?

Again she tried to smile, but the girl didn't know how to fake amusement when it wasn't truly there. Joy was wilting in her chest, a day old flower left in a vase without water - something not even Locke's jests managed to revive to its full splendor.
"Ah, so I am only to know the nice and pretty sides about you? You know... I won't actually break from learning that the world isn't all sunshine and roses." But so many people seemed intent on hiding their shadows away when they were around her. Like she wouldn't notice, if they only grinned wide enough.
