Matches

Chapter 7

A/N Guys! So, so sorry i haven't updated Matches recently; I went to Scotland and all but i guess that's no excuse. Sorry again. So, I just saw that my book had 152 reads. 152! Thank you guys, it means loads to me. Oh, hey, I just checked again and another two reads were waiting for me. Tysm guys. And 7 votes! Awesome! I know i've said this already, but i gotta say it again. So THANK YOU. Thanks to everyone who is reading this book. Now to the story. Sorry for ranting, tho.

His eyes narrowed. "Did...miss something?"

"Um...well, yeah, I..."

"It's fine, Sophie." Fitz said.

"Thanks."

Fitz grinned. "No problem. You guys are good together." Sophie nodded.

"Who was your number one?" she asked.

He fidgeted. "Marella."

Oh, hey, 166 reads now! Thanks so much guys!

Sophie smiled. "Awesome!" This was why Marella had not been in contact, if Fitz was going out with her.

Fitz was very happy, promising to hail her the moment he got  home.Sophie relaxed on the bed, then, with the last dregs of her strength, she decided to reach out to Silveny.

FRIEND! VISIT! KEEFE!

Not right now, Sophie told her.

I just need-

HELP SOPHIE SLEEP?

That's very kind of you. Sophie said. But no.

VISIT! VISIT! VISIT!

No, Silveny. Look, I just wanted to check on you. Are you safe?

SAFE! SAFE! SAFE! The mama alicorn agreed.

Well that's good, Sophie replied, burrowing under her covers. 

"Hey, Sophie?" a voice said from a long way away.

"Grady!"

"Yeah. I just came back from the council's last assignment. How are you?"

"I'm okay." Sophie said goodbye to Silveny, then severed their connection.

"Sophie, how about you go visit Silveny tomorrow?"

"Really?" Sophie perked up.

"Of course. I'll arrange it with Jurek."

"Thanks so much, Grady."

"No problem. I think i'll have a shower now. See you!" He waved and left. Sophie re-connected with Silveny.

Sorry i left so abruptly.

NO SORRY! NO SORRY! SAFE! SAFE! SAFE!

Silveny? I'm going to visit you tomorrow.

VISIT! VISIT! VISIT! KEEFE! KEEFE! KEEFE!

Yes, i'm sure Keefe will come too.

Talking of Keefe...

Silveny?

SOPHIE OKAY?

I'm fine. Did I tell you that me and Keefe are together now?

LIKE GREYFELL?

A little, Sophie admitted.

KEEFE NICE?

Yes. He's very nice. Well, see you tomorrow then, Silveny.

Sophie cut off their connection, then wandered around Havenfield's halls looking for Edaline. A knock at the door interrupted her searching. She peered over the banister and looked into the pristine living room. She saw Keefe and Edaline at the bottom of the stairs, talking. She leaned further. 

"...and I wondered if Sophie was here."

Sophie raced down the steps and walked up next to Edaline.

"Hey, foster!"

"Hey, Keefe"

"I think i'll leave you two to talk." Edaline said. She gave Sophie and Keefe some large pieces of mallowmelt, and left the room.

"So how are you?" Keefe asked her.

"I'm okay, as long as you're here."

"Me too."

Sophie sighed contentedly.

"I love you, Keefe." she said happily.

"I love you too."
