'''Sophie hadn’t said a word as she walked past Grady and Edaline, and went into her bedroom. She buried herself into her blankets, squeezing Ella, and crying silent tears.'''

'''She didn’t know long she cried. '''

The door opened, and Sophie assumed it was Edaline, but she didn’t move.

'''“Hey, Foster!” came Keefe’s cheerful voice. '''

'''Sophie didn’t look up. '''

'''Keefe sat on the edge of her bed. '''

'''“Are you dead?” He teased. “Why aren’t you moving?” '''

He moved the blankets off of her, “Foster… hey, are you crying?” 

Sophie tried to wipe her wet face with her sleeve.

'''Keefe pulled her into a hug. “Sophie, what’s wrong?”'''

'''He’d used her first name. '''

'''“Whoah, serious emotions there. I don’t even know what half of them are,” Keefe commented. '''

“Seriously Foster, why are you crying?”

“Un… match… able…” Sophie gasped, still crying.

'''Sophie heard the shock in Keefe’s voice. “You’re unmatchable?”'''

'''Sophie nodded, crying into Keefe’s shoulder. '''

'''“Well,” It was Keefe who seemed uncertain. “I mean, is that really a bad thing? You didn’t really care about the whole matchmaking thing, did you? And you’ve still got Fitzy.” '''

Sophie sobbed violently.

“...You don’t have Fitzy?”

Sophie shook her head.

'''“You’re done? No more Fitzphie? No more staring into each other’s eyes?” Keefe sounded like he didn’t believe it.'''

'''Sophie couldn’t form the words she wanted to say. '''

“Why?”

'''Sophie tryed to stop herself from crying, just enough so she could answer. “He… his family, his legacy. After Alvar…” the waterworks came again. '''

'''Keefe held Sophie against his shoulder. “Foster, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.” '''

'''Sophie blinked up at him, she noticed the slightly darker rim of blue around the irises in his eyes. '''

“I’ve liked you.”

'''Sophie sat straight up. “What?”'''

“Ever since I met you.”

'''“What did you say?” Sophie asked. '''

'''Keefe looked flustered, “I said, I love you, Sophie. Even though Fitz did, and you loved him more, I---”'''

'''Sophie kissed him. '''
