First time

Melina told him about her dad and Lily, and she even talked to him about her mom. She was surprised that she opened up to him so quickly, especially since she told him things that she hadn't told anyone else.

She was sure that she trusted him now. He had proven himself to her, and she was grateful to have someone so caring in her life. It was nice to feel safe.

As the time nearly showed midnight, Melina peeked her head out of her dorm to see Tyler walking down the hallway toward her.

A smile immediately broke out onto her face as he approached. It was good to finally see him after a long day of classes.

Their talks about their future inspired her, and she had been doing well in class, finding control and trying harder spells.

Tyler was a good thing for her life, no matter what Blair thought.

"Hey there," Tyler said as he walked into her dorm, flashing her that charming smile of his.
