Sophie POV
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
Why does he have to sound so melancholy! I just want him to be happy! We all do!
"Lets go."
He makes it sound like we're going to the morgue or something. Oh well. I am here for moral support, I remind myself. When we walk back in the tribunal room, a hush falls over the crowd. I look to see where the soon to be adoptive parents stand. I can tell because I recognize my own adoptive parents friends.
" Keefe Sencen, have you made your choice?" Councillor Emery calls loudly. Too loudly if you ask me.
"Yes, I made my choice. My new adoptive parents shall be... First I want to ask that no crying happens. Is that a deal."
He commanded it rather than asked.
"Well of course!" Every boomed.
"Good. My choice is the Vackers."
A moment of dead silence was followed by loud cheering, grumbling, and a big bear hug from his new adoptive parents, Fitz, and me.
I was happy for him. I truly was. After his big bear hug many people left. Now was the paperwork. I was walking outside when he tugged on my arm.
"Keefe, don't they need you in there?"
"Prolly not. All I needed to do was tell them who I wanted. Look, you really helped me today. It was a tough choice."
"I only told you pro's and con's."
"Still helped. Anyway I wanna show you something. To thank you."
"Okkkkkaaaaaayyyyy?"
"You don't have to look so sceptical you know." He said with a smart smirk.
"Mmhmm." I say sarcastically. He rolls his eyes while grabbing my hand, pulling me toward a corner out of sight and sound. It feels so right to have his hand in mine.
"It does feel pretty good to be together huh."
Dang! He's an empath! I yank my hand away but I know it doesn't help. He does to. Might as well give in, I think as he researches for my hand.
"Its not bad to feel this way, Foster." He says leaning in.
MWAHAHAHAHA! It's an I-ran-out-of-time Cliff hanger! See y'all next time.
