Chapter 173: Battles Of The Heart Part 1

Leah enjoyed a deep, peaceful sleep and woke later than usual as her muscles were feeling the strain of the past four days full on activities. She went out onto the balcony to stretch and take in some fresh air. Her mind skimmed over the days pending schedule, and she checked her portable PC in case of any last minute changes. There were none. Once this all important battle was through, there would be lunch, she had spent the last three lunchtimes in the cadet mess hall mingling and chatting with her fellow cadets. Leah felt she was one of them, that she belonged. Then, one more lecture and possibly a visit from Kalvich himself. She was hoping she would be allowed a moment to see him alone. As usual, he was tied up in important business. She badly missed him and though being busy helped, she still felt the aching loneliness. Learning to be more disciplined went a long way to keeping her emotions in check. Today would definitely be no exception.
