Chapter Fifteen

Ugh, Sophie groaned, This is so embarrassing.

Fitz just grinned, a huge, huge smile on his face. He’d been laughing for at least thirty seconds now, but at least he wasn’t mad.

“Would you two like to let me know what’s so funny?” Tiergan asked.

Fitz kept right on cracking up, and every time he looked at Sophie a new round of giggles started.

But Sophie told Tiergan, “Nothing!”

It was too fast. Tiergan could probably guess what it had to do with…

Yep. The grin on Tiergan’s face confirmed that he knew exactly what Fitz was laughing about. But luckily the kind mentor refrained from joining in.

Okay, Fitz, Sophie said. ''I get it. You think the fact that I like Keefe is hilarious. Now, can we PLEASE move on?''

It’s not the fact that you like Keefe that I’m laughing at, Fitz transmitted. ''I’m laughing at the way you described ME. Because it’s kinda true, but also not. I did a bit more for you than that, but still not enough. But it’s just kinda funny, me compared to Keefe, at least in your mind. I mean, the most romantic thing I ever did for you was actually done by Keefe!'' He cracked up again.

Wait, what?

Remember that painting I gave you? Keefe painted it, remember?

That wasn’t the MOST romantic thing you ever did for me, Sophie promised.

Then what was?

Sophie didn’t have an answer. That probably was the most romantic thing he’d ever done for her. Okay, fine, she consented.

“Are you two ready for today’s lesson?” Tiergan asked, still smiling at Sophie. Yeah, he definitely knew that they were talking about crushes and things like that.

“Yep!” Sophie said. Her favorite thing: a subject change.

“Fine,” Fitz agreed. And I promise I won’t tell anyone.

Thank you.

“Okay,” Tiergan said. “Today we’ll be sharing secrets.”

“Again?” Sophie groaned. They’d already shared way too many secrets for Sophie’s liking.
