It's a secret

Keefe was lying in his bed looking at a picture he'd done of Sophie when there came a knock at the door. Quickly he shoved the picture under his pillow.

"Come in"

The door opened and Sophie stepped in looking nervous.

Keefe smiled. "Ahh, Foster is back to see me! I'm honored to be in her presence."

The tension emanating from Sophie rolled away replaced with annoyance.

Sophie rolled her eyes. "You're so weird, you know that."

Keefe shrugged. "What's wrong with weird, the best people I know are weird."

'Like you. '

"Soo, change of subject. Want to play a game?"

"That was not what I was expecting. A game, seriously? Aren't we supposed to be mounting an attack on the Neverseen and rescuing Tam?"

"Yes, but that isn't for two days and there's nothing we can do to help. According to Mr.Forkle, sooo yes I'm asking you if you want to play a game."

"Why me? Why aren't you asking Fitz." Keefe replied, trying to keep venom out of his voice.

Sophie's expression turned to one of confusion. "Fitz? Why would I-"

She stopped as if it finally dawned on her. "Keefe, me and Fitz aren't a thing anymore."

Keefe reeled back, he had always been uncomfortable with their relationship, and he had hoped that Sophie would choose him instead, but he never thought that Fitzphie would break up. After they became a thing it had felt so final, like a death sentence. Some thing impossible to change.

"Wait, wait, wait, you're telling me there's not going to be anymore staring into the eyes thing, no more wonderstruck expressions, no more fitzphie!?"

Sophie plucked out an eyelash. "Well we still might do the staring into the eyes things since we're cognates and all, but yes we're over."

Keefe mulled that over in his head.

"So who broke up with who?"

"Well...Fitz did."

"Really Foster, you need to up your game. You're the one supposed to breaking hearts, not the other way around."

"Umm I wasn't exactly heartbroken."

Keefe grabbed Mrs. Stinkbottom and propped he under his chin.

"Oooh this just got a whole lot more interesting."

Sophie shook her head. "Let's get back to the game."

"Ahh yes, the game. What is this game anyway?"

Sophie smiled and whispered it into his ear.

Keefe's eyes brightened. "I think I'm going to like this game."
