Sage's idea of a date on the campus grounds, which is the very next night, is another picnic, one in the far back corner of the grounds, a grassy flat field that is used for… I'm not sure what exactly. A similar field is used for flutterball more toward the middle of the campus, but this area has no bleachers, no painted lines on the grass.

“I hate to be repetitive, but this is the best I can do,” Sage murmurs as he starts to remove the items from his basket.

“You don’t have to worry about impressing me.”

“Don’t I?”

I lift my eyebrows. “No,” I assure him, wondering and worrying about his sudden uneasiness around me. Is it because of the time spent apart?

“Things have been so crazy lately,” he says.

“Believe me, I know,” I groan. “The lockdown is horrible, but that fire… I have two new roommates because of it, and one has nightmares about it.”

“Wren, right?”

“Yes. You know her?”

“We live in the same village.”

“I didn’t realize,” I murmur and wait to feel jealous. I don’t. Not at all. Which only reinforces the notion that my only threat is Bay.

My twin.

Who Sage still thinks I am.

“I just wish we didn’t have to worry about any of that. I mean, we hear about pipe bombs and school shootings with the humans. Why do we have to have issues like thefts and arson?”

“You’re certain it’s arson?” I ask and sip some of the honey mead.

“It has to be. I just wish the administration wouldn’t lie about it. I mean, if it wasn’t the act of arson, why are we under lockdown?”

“I’m surprised more parents aren’t pulling out their wings considering the lockdown. I mean, my parents are less than pleased, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

“Exactly. Our parents can’t do anything either, and it’s not as if we won’t have to face adversity ever in our lives without them one day.” He rolls his eyes.

I laugh. “They do act like we’re helpless.”

“And hapless.” He tosses a blueberry into his mouth.

"Our species has how long of a lifespan? We've dominated this Earth for how long?"

“Yet we live in secret,” he points out.

I shrug, not bothered in the least. “Humans are interesting, yes, but it’s so much better to be among our own kind, don’t you agree?”

“Considering no human could ever hold a candle to your great beauty, why would I even want to lay eyes upon them?”

It’s such a sweet sentiment, but I giggle. “Sage, come now.”

“It’s true,” he protests.

“There’s more to a person than their looks.” I swallow hard.

“Yes, and you’re funny and witty and—”

“Sage.”

“I really have missed you. I wasn’t sure what to think after I woke up alone.”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left you like that.”

"It's all right. I didn't want to scare you off. I was afraid I had pushed you too far too fast. I was worried you were purposely staying away from me, so I gave you space until I couldn't anymore."

“I was looking for you yesterday at lunch,” I admit.
