Sophie was so tired. She could barely keep her eyes open. In fact, it might be better for her to sleep on it. Once she is well rested, she might be able to be more calm in collected in this situation. Climbing in bed, she sighed and pulled the covers up to her chin. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow… ۝ When she woke up, there was a knock at her door. "Come in!" She said. Edaline, her adoptive mother opened the door. "You have a guest!" She said, wiggling her eyebrows. Sophie rolled her eyes. "Who is it?" "Oh, just Fitz Vacker!" Sophie’s eyes went wide. “No, not now!” Edaline looked confused. “Well, I’m not going to keep him waiting,” she said, “Come on in Fitz!” Sophie used her bed sheets to cover the match list as best as possible, and then plopped innocently on her bed. When Fitz came in, he grinned, but Sophie could tell it was forced. He looked nervous, but excited at the same time. He shuffled in and sat next to her. “So?” he said. “So what?” She asked, pretending not to know what he was talking about. “So, I heard you were picking up your match packet today, so I did too!” He held up a scroll sealed with the mark of the matchmakers. “Yay!” Said Sophie, halfheartedly. “What’s wrong?” Asked Fitz, his deep teal eyes filling up with concern. “Well, I opened my match list, and…” “And what, was I on there?” Sophie sighed and clenched her fists, fighting back tears. “No.”
