Marco then spent the next few days doing his best to absolutely avoid her. It wasn’t obvious. For example, his mornings now included a type of workout with Sergeant Reyes that had him eating breakfast before Gilda and Fortrakt could join in (Chris even mentioned that Marco was never one to rise before the sun). He also began to behave neutrally, almost coldly, towards her, sticking closely to Fortrakt in almost all occasions and would not look in Gilda’s direction. He would even avoid her gaze altogether.
