CHAPTER 2- Sophie

'''Sophie didn’t know what to say when she saw Linh sitting under the Panakes tree. Part of her wanted it to be Fitz. He had come so close to kissing her, not long ago, when Silveny had gone into labor. '''

'''Linh was a mess, and now sitting beside Sophie beside her on her bed. “Promise you’re okay?” Sophie asked. Linh smiled.'''

“Perfect.”

'''Though Sophie could say otherwise. Linh had cried and cried before, and just started to calm down now.'''

'''“How about we play a game?” Sophie asked. Linh smiled and nodded, wiping her eyes.'''

“What game is it?” Linh asked.

'''“We ask each other one question.” Sophie said. '''

'''Linh frowned slightly and Sophie could see that she was blushing. “How is that a game?” Linh asked. '''

'''Sophie smiled. “It’s not, but it could help get your mind off your brother.”'''

'''Linh nodded, wiping her eyes again. “Sure, why not.”'''

'''Sophie smiled again, thinking of something to ask Linh. For some reason, there was one question that stood at the tip of her tongue every time. Do you like anybody?'''

'''Sophie had no clue why she wanted to ask that question. Maybe it was because she hoped Linh would say someone other than Fitz or Keefe. Maybe it was because Sophie hoped Linh would say her.'''

'''Sophie took a deep breath. “Linh, do you like anybody?” She asked.'''

'''It was so easy and no fuss at all. Sophie had no idea why she was sensitive about it.'''

'''“Yes.” Linh whispered. She was very, very pink.'''

Sophie felt like she was even redder.

“Who?” Sophie asked.

'''Linh smiled. “You said one question.” she said softly.'''

'''Sophie wished she was able to ask two. '''

She was so lost thinking about Linh she didn’t hear the question she was being asked.
