"Olivia! I'm so excited for you!" I practically scream at her, hugging her tightly. We stand in the bathroom at my house, getting her ready for her date.

Her shoulder length, curled, blonde hair bounces as she nods her head, smiling. Her makeup is silhouetted perfectly to match her facial features, and her black lace dress that comes down mid thigh only adds to the look.

She's finally making her life. She's finally carving the edges and fixing it up. Soon, it will all be done.

"I'm working at Dauntless Secret, and I met a really cute guy when I walked in the store. I bumped into him and he's really hot and single!" She jumps up and down, clapping her hands.

I hug her again. "Keep this up, Olivia. You're turning your life around. This is what you need. Keep that in mind tonight, okay?" I ask her, looking at her reflection in the bathroom mirror in front of me. She nods sincerely, and I run my hand through her hair.

"Wondrous perfection." I say as I help her up. She hugs me as we exit the bathroom and head to the front door.

"Thanks so much, Maddie." She grabs the doorknob. "It means a lot. I love you." She smiles as she steps out.

I walk over to Ty, checking my watch. I sit down on the couch with Ty. "Shit, Ty. We need to get Hannah." I slap a hand to my face. He pulls it away and kisses my cheek.

"Calm down, sweetie. We have plenty of time." He chuckles. I roll my eyes.

"I guess you're right. I just miss my little Hannah bear. It feels weird without her here." I put all of my weight back into the couch as I sink into it and Ty snakes his arms to wrap around my waist.

"Yes, because we never really had a lot of time alone before she got here." He states, which is true, except we had a whole nine months.

"We had the whole nine months, Ty." I tell him, my eyes gazing into his. He rubs a thumb over my lip.

"No, but she was still there." He says, placing air quotes around the word there. I nod. She was. Life begins at conception.

I kiss his lips, smiling. "Let's put that time without her to a good use." I say, wrapping my legs around his waist. He smirks.

"We truly are made for each other, my dearest Madison." He chuckles, leaning his forehead to mine. My hands sprawl out across his back, and I nod.

"Yes we are, my dearest Tyler." I say, and push him down into the couch, laying on top of him.

"What about Hannah?" He asks me quietly. I place a finger to his lips, shushing him. I stare him in the eyes, and simply answer.

"Someone said that we have a ton of time. Hannah can wait." I say, feeling confidence bursting inside of my body and my heart like fireworks. One after the other, continuously bursting and never stopping. Unending.

"Sounds reasonable." He chuckles as I hook my fingers in his belt loops, pulling him closer, his familiar piece of hair falling into his eyes.

My body is completely still, motionless, as I stand on the edge of the train cart. The ride is bumpy, jostling my body to the rhythm of the train as it barrels down the tracks, toward the Abnegation sector, where Hannah is.
