'''Well, that went horribly. Sophie flopped down onto her bed, on the verge of tears. Keefe had told Fitz right after Sophie told Keefe, so when Sophie walked into Foxfire that day, there was a note from Fitz. All it said was, “Keefe told me about you being unmatchable”. '''

That was it.

'''Sophie was pretty disappointed. '''

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Keefe rapped on her door then barged in without waiting for an answer.

'''“Hi Fos-” He stopped when he saw Sophie’s face. Immediately he walked over to her, and wrapped her up in a bear hug.'''

'''When he released her, there was a hint of a smile on Sophie’s face. '''

'''“Did you come over here to talk to me about Tam?” Sophie asked, even though she highly doubted it. '''

'''“No, I came over to see you.” He answered. “I could feel your emotions from a mile away. Whew!” Keefe fanned the air in front of his face. He pulled off one of Sophie’s enhancing gloves, and sent a cool breeze through her mind. Her face relaxed, and that helped Keefe relax too. '''

'''“Well, he as good as rejected me,” Sophie mumbled. “I tried to reach out to him with my mind, and I could feel his mind.”'''

'''“Cognates,” Keefe snorted. '''

'''“See, that’s what I’m worried about. This could break our Cognate relationship. When I tried to reach out to him, he wouldn’t respond. He won’t answer his Imparter either.”'''

'''Keefe sighed. “I guess no more staring into each others eyes,” Keefe said dramatically. A smile twitched at the corner of Sophie’s mouth.'''

'''“Hey, don’t worry,” Keefe said as the flicker of a smile on her face faltered. “You got me. And let’s not forget the hair,” Keefe said, running his hand through his hair, making it even worse.'''

'''This time, Sophie smiled a real smile. She grabbed Keefe in a big hug.'''

'''“Thank you, Keefe. I needed that.” '''
