decided to stay. “And no, I’m not talking about the alicorns, so don’t

try to play that game. I’m talking about the thing you and I have been

very noticeably not talking about since it happened, and I think it’s

high time we acknowledge it, don’t you?”

“Probably,” Sophie admitted, fighting the sudden urge to tug on all

her eyelashes. “Though there’s not really anything to acknowledge

right now.”

“Yeah, that’s what I hear. Why is that, by the way? I thought you’d

be, like, running out to get crush cuffs first thing, once you finally

stopped being oblivious and realized how long my brother’s liked

you.”

“How long has he liked me?” Sophie asked—blurting out the

question before she could stop it. “Never mind. Forget I asked. I don’t

want to put you in the middle.”

“I guess it’s probably good if we draw that line now, before you

guys get to the super-mushy stage,” Biana agreed. But she leaned in

and whispered, “I know for sure he’s had a crush since we were all

together in Alluveterre.”

“Really?” Sophie was dying to ask for more details. But she left it at

that, going with a more important question. “You don’t mind?”

“Nope. Like I said, you guys are good together. And I’m not the

only one who sees that. You seriously need to stop worrying so much

about the match. You’re perfect for each other. You’ll see.”

Sophie still had her doubts. But . . . strangely enough, she was also

starting to want to find out. Maybe it was selfish of her to think about

something like that when Linh was having to live every day worrying

about her brother, and Tam was off who knew where being stuck

doing who knew what.
