'''“Unmatchable,” Fitz repeated. “Unmatchable.”'''

'''“Yes,” Sophie replied quietly. '''

“How…” Fitz stared at her, “Why…?”

'''“I don’t know,” Sophie instinctively reached up and tugged an eyelash free. “I think it’s because my parents are unknown.” She put her hand to the necklace he had given her. “But it doesn’t matter. Look at Juline and Kelser, they’re fine!”'''

“But, it’s a bad match,” Fitz pointed out.

'''“So?” The conversation was making Sophie more and more nervous, she was sure she wouldn’t have any eyelashes left after they were done. '''

'''“I can’t… I’m a Vacker.” Fitz said. '''

'''Sophie felt like her throat was closing up, “You… you care more about your heritage? Your status? Then me?”'''

'''“I can’t, not after Alvar,” Fitz stuttered. “My family.” '''

'''Sophie’s eyes filled with tears. “Then,” the tears rolled down her face, as she reached behind her hair, and unclipped the necklace. “Then I guess we’re done.” Sophie handed him the necklace. She spun on her heels, heading for Everglen’s gates. '''

'''“No! Sophie! Wait!” Sophie heard Fitz’s voice behind her. '''

She pushed open the gates.

'''Sophie saw that Fitz had made no attempt to follow her, she pulled out her home crystal, and light leaped away. '''
