Eventually, her adoptive dad, Grady came in. “Sophie?” he asked, “Are you okay?”

“Im fine,” she said,sniffling, “but Fitz isn’t on my match list.”

“Oh that’s too bad honey, but maybe someone else is on your list, like Dex!”

“But daddy, I love him! Plus, if Dex is your nephew, that makes him my adoptive cousin . It would make it weird!”

“Hmm… that would be kind of weird…”

“But guess who’s number one!” She said, knowing that Grady would agree with her on this one. Grady hated Keefe. “Keefe Sencen!”

“No!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Inconsolata;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It will be okay. You’ll figure it out, Sophie. You always do.”
