Jay scooped me back up and started walking again. I looked at Jay and felt something I never felt before. It was like butterflies in my stomach. It might be the way his brown hair was spiked up, or the way his bluish grey eyes made me feel safe, or maybe it was just the fact that he saved me from marring a man I knew nothing about. (Because no one has ever done that before.)

(Jay's point of view)

I carried Sparrow deep into the woods. My knees hurt from walking for so long and Sparrow feel asleep in my arms a couple of hours ago. The sun was setting and we still hadn't reached the base. I realized that if I kept walking I wouldn't be able to show her around base in the morning. So I sat her down in the middle of the meadow we were in. She shook just a little.

When I made sure she wouldn't wake up I took off the disguise revealing my white tube top and my baggy black sweats. I walk over and pick up some rocks and twigs. Then I walk back to Sparrow and couldn't help but stare at her. It might've been her long, wavy, brown hair or her bluish green eyes. Or maybe even her freckles. But she made me feel different. I felt like I couldn't let her go, I felt like her protector, I felt like there was butterflies in my stomach. I have never felt this way before.
