Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37.210.197.250-20190430111342

“Sophie promised she would, and with that, her friends started leaping back to their houses. But Keefe hung back with Ro, just like she’d asked him to.

So did Fitz. And he looked a little confused when he realized Keefe wasn’t leaving.

I asked him to stay so I could tell him what Fintan said about his memories, Sophie explained telepathically.

Want me to stay too? Fitz offered.

Sophie chewed her lip. I think it’ll be better if it’s just him and me.

Why?

“Uh, fun as it is being here for a Fitzphie starefest,” Keefe interrupted, “you don’t really need me for that, so . . .”

"Sorry," Sophie told him, “I was just . . . saying goodbye to Fitz.”

Which sounded like more of a dismissal than she meant it to.

Sorry, she transmitted to Fitz, wondering why this felt so unnecessarily complicated. ''I know Keefe’s your best friend—and I know we were both searching his memories. But I just . . . I think he’ll take it easier if it comes from me''.

But we didn’t really learn anything big, Fitz reminded her.

''Exactly. That’s why I’m worried. This is probably the most he’s going to learn about that memory and it isn’t much, so''—

“Seriously, I’ll just go,” Keefe told them. “You guys carry on with all the staring and the mega mood swings.”

Fitz sighed. “No, it’s fine. I’m going.”

Ro muttered something that sounded a little like “about time,” but they all ignored her.

Thank you, Sophie transmitted to Fitz.

He nodded, stepping closer and pulling her into a hug—a hug that lasted longer than Sophie expected. Long enough that she finally had to pull away, hoping her face wasn’t super red.

“Hail me when you’re back from Marella’s, okay?” Fitz asked, reaching up to tuck her hair behind her ear.

“I will,” Sophie promised.”

“His fingers lingered on her cheek a few seconds longer. Then he raised his home crystal up to the light and leaped away.

Keefe whistled, tearing his hands through his hair. “Wow, so that’s how it’s going to be now, huh? I mean, I appreciate you skipping the whole goodbye-smoochy-smoochy thing, but—”

Thoughts, anyone? 🧐

Seems to me that someone's showing a little clinginess... Also, what was the reason behind Sophie thanking Fitz? Was it for agreeing to leave, or for cooperating, or...? A little confused here...
