Chapter 47 “Happiness can only exist in acceptance.” George Orwell
Later that evening, when Griffin returned to our rooms, I decided to put my new attitude into work. I’d already tried
running away and fighting fate. For the time being, it was time to see where actual acceptance might get me.
So, when Griffin entered the room, I didn’t turn away or try to argue with him like I might’ve done a couple of days ago.
Instead, I turned to him and actually smiled. The gesture still felt forced and I could see Griffin raise his eyebrows almost
immediately ~ he clearly hadn’t been expecting me to look happy to see him.
“Hello, little fox,” he said, bounding across the room and taking me into his arms. “I missed you.” His embrace was warm
and firm, and rather than pull away, I let myself sink into his arms and hug him back.
“Yeah, me too,” I told him. It wasn’t a complete lie. Other than Dr. Inessa, Griffin had been primary human interaction for
the past day. Even if he’d spent a good portion of that time “punishing me,” his presence was better than nothing.
In response, Griffin only stiffened under my touch. Was he expecting me to reject his touch?
“What’s wrong?” I asked as Griffin stiffly pulled away from me, staring at me with narrowed eyes.
“What are you trying to pull?” he asked, his voice low and barely above a growl. 2)
“What do you mean?”
“That smile when I walked into the room,” he said, “Telling me you miss me too, hugging me back…what sort of game are
you trying to play with me?”
