"Oh, yes." The way Countess looks at him conveys surprise that he hadn't noticed. "She left to meet up with the doctor for Valentine's Day and she hasn't been back since. I'm sure she planned something special for him and it simply worked out well."

Is there a bad ending, really? Either they made up or he's probably dead, and that seems like a win-win, so obviously everything worked out for the best. Countess is happy for Raina. So happy. Perhaps she'll send a fruit bouquet.

She keeps pulling him, though she eventually lets go to allow him to just follow in her wake. "We've hardly spoken since you returned." By design. But now she... wants to talk? It's like opposite day.
