There's a Fine, Fine Line
Miri has learned a lot from her time with the Riders, but she doesn't think any amount of time will be enough to learn everything she needs, or wants, to know about Evin Larse. His behavior is so odd sometimes.
Evin is one of her best friends, and yet, at times he acts as if he would like to be more. Sometimes Miri wants him to be more. Just when she thinks she's figured out where their relationship stands, and when she feels as if she is ready to take that leap towards the next step, Evin treats her like any other close friend and goes back to flirting with every girl who catches his attention.
Others have often commented on the amount of time Miri and Evin spend together, but Miri finds that their observations do nothing to cement what she is, or could be, to him, as even that aspect of their relationship changes continually. Though one day Evin won't leave her side, it is likely that the next day he will hardly speak to her.
Miri finds their unidentified relationship maddening, yet, although she is sorely tempted to ask Evin plainly how he thinks of her, she continues to disappoint herself by being too frightened of the asking…and of what he might tell her.
