“Hail me when you wake up and we’ll figure out when to head
over,” Sophie told Biana.
“And let us know how it goes,” Dex told both of them.
Sophie promised she would, and with that, her friends started
leaping back to their houses. But Keefe hung back with Ro, just like
she’d asked him to.
So did Fitz. And he looked a little confused when he realized Keefe
wasn’t leaving.
I asked him to stay so I could tell him what Fintan said about his
memories, Sophie explained telepathically.
Want me to stay too? Fitz offered.
Sophie chewed her lip. I think it’ll be better if it’s just him and me.
Why?
“Uh, fun as it is being here for a Fitzphie starefest,” Keefe
interrupted, “you don’t really need me for that, so . . .”
“Sorry,” Sophie told him, “I was just . . . saying goodbye to Fitz.”
Which sounded like more of a dismissal than she meant it to.
Sorry, she transmitted to Fitz, wondering why this felt so
unnecessarily complicated. I know Keefe’s your best friend—and I know
we were both searching his memories. But I just . . . I think he’ll take it easier
if it comes from me.
But we didn’t really learn anything big, Fitz reminded her.
Exactly. That’s why I’m worried. This is probably the most he’s going to
learn about that memory and it isn’t much, so—
“Seriously, I’ll just go,” Keefe told them. “You guys carry on with all
the staring and the mega mood swings.”
Fitz sighed. “No, it’s fine. I’m going.”
