'''Keefe tossed and turned in bed that night. He had come over to Sophie’s house, earning glares from Grady, and sugary looks from Edaline. They had tried to come up with a plan for saving Tam, which hadn’t gone as well as planned. Keefe suggested Sophie telepathically communicate with Tam, and he had responded. But with only two words.'''

'''Not now. '''

'''In Keefe’s opinion, Tam could stay with the Neverseen. But Sophie was determined to find Tam, and help him escape. Sophie was desperate for a plan, so she decided to contact Tam every day, if she could.'''

'''Keefe was mad. Was Tam that important? Did he REALLY need to be saved?'''

No. 

'''In Keefe’s opinion, he didn’t care. But there was a nagging doubt in the pit of his stomach. '''

'''This had happened before, when he went to join the Neverseen to destroy it from the inside out. Tam had let Keefe’s mother take him away, in exchange for the antidote to save Silveny and Greyfell. '''

'''Keefe didn’t like it. Now the Black Swan would see him as a hero.'''

'''And worse, what if Sophie thought he was a hero? He couldn’t think that.'''

'''But, spending more and more time with Tam had loosened Keefe’s hate for him. '''

'''He might actually be a decent person. '''

Might.

'''Eventually, Keefe fell asleep, a certain pair of dark brown eyes with gold flecks floating in his dreams. '''

'''Sophie woke up, just as dreary as the day before. Today was her first day back to Foxfire after a short weekend, and she would have to face Fitz and his gorgeous teal eyes. Would he reject her when she told him? What would she do if he did reject her? '''

A pair of icy blue eyes and blond, disheaveled hair flashed into her mind.

'''Wait. She told herself. She couldn’t make any assumptions.'''
