Penelope stormed through the dark wooden door for the third time this week. The candle sticks on the shelf and paintings on the nearby walls rattled before falling down. The items slamming onto the floor. Lady Carqueella, sighed and only looked over to the angry blonde with her eyes. Her head and body still facing and working on the fabric she was currently sowing. 

Penelope stomped to the desk Lady Carqueella was working on and slammed her hands down aggressively. A few items clattered and fell over. Lady Carqueella sighed; she had hoped the girl would have somehow learned a few manners between their last greeting, but you can't hope for a miracle. 

"He still isn't interested! Your stupid love potion doesn't work!" Penelope shouted at the top of her lungs, pointing accusingly at Lady Carqueella. Lady Carqueella sighed, shaking her head at this girl's snobbish attitude. Slowly she placed her needle and fabric down and turned to face the entitled high schooler face on.

"He hasn't changed his actions towards you?" Lady Carqueella inquired. Penelope sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, backing up from Carqueella's desk slightly. 

"Well, he isn't as rude as he was before, but he still turned me down when I asked him to date me," Penelope whined like a toddler. Lady Carqueella raised her eyebrows, not expecting that outcome. She did give the girl a powerful love potion and only specific requirements need to be met for the person to not develop feelings for the person who gave the potion to them.

"Well, if you are certain he drank it, he either doesn't know what to do with his newfound feelings, or he has never loved a person strongly before," Lady Carqueella informed Penelope. Penelope moved her eyes away from Lady Carqueella and shook her head a bit at what the older woman had told her. 

"Wha-what does that mean?" Penelope asked, confused. Lady Carqueella grabbed her needle and fabric again and started to finish it.

"Well, if he is treating you nicer then he was before, he's developed a connection as strong as the person he likes most. If it's only a little, the strongest feeling he has had is a friendship. If it isn't that case, the boy is just in denial about loving you," Lady Carqueella stated. The gypsie woman then hummed happily as she lifted up the fabric square, she had just finished sowing, a beautiful woman stitched on the front.
