The bitter winter days were mellowing just a little and the nicer days were becoming cautiously frequent like they were fighting a battle and feeling optimistic about winning. The thought pleased Sheva as she walked toward the school building. The chill lingered but there was sun and while it was definitely too early for spring fever she noted a certain spring in the steps of the girls around her.

Sheva headed into the building her sense of unease increasing. She had called Adina once last night. No one had answered. She hadn’t tried again.
She didn’t like the distance that was growing between them every moment. For goodness’ sake where was Adina?
