“Oi, I’m sorry,” Carlotta called after him, and he paused. He turned to her, and he must have noted that her expression was anything but apologetic. “I’m sorry! Feel better now?”
“Sincere, that,” remarked Remus sarcastically. “Really, really touching.” He looked awful, Carlotta noticed for the first time: exhausted, pale, and weary, as though he were just getting over a bad case of the flu, and it was possible that she imagined it, but a faint sheen seemed to have formed over his brow, like a cold sweat. For a few moments, she felt very, very guilty: “I’ve got an idea, Carlotta.” Remus descended exactly one step. “Why don’t you run along to your boyfriend and spend as much time as you can with him, because honestly, with all of this Shelley business and everything else, for some reason or another, I just can’t imagine it lasting too much longer between you two. Cheers.”
