One would think that in that time, things would drift back and settle into normalcy. That perhaps the awkward incident in the Haven North library and the awkward incidents that followed would be forgotten, or perhaps at least laughed about. And then maybe Maya could move on, content herself with Peter's friendship and all would be right with the world.
If one were to think that, one would be terribly wrong.
There's still an underlying layer of awkwardness to their interactions, and it's made no better by the fact that they have to share a room. And through it all, Maya hasn't been able to figure out how Peter even feels. He's got a talent for avoiding her if she tries to press the issue, and that hurts more than she cares to admit. She wishes in the equal parts that she never would have said anything so they could continue on as normal, or that he would just tell her one way or another and they could abandon this awkward half-friendship for either a relationship or nothing at all.
At this point, she would take nothing, because at least then she'd know.
She's sitting on her bed, waiting for him to appear, because at this point, the Siren has had enough. One way or another, they're going to figure this out. ]
