"You said that Della was bringing it." I enquired.

"Uh, yeah. About that.. funny story.... Ah, wellll.... I, uh, well was really just, um, spying on you. Because I really really really like you. And, well, I wanted to know whether you andKeefe were going out. And, I don't want you going out with him." Fitz said.

Suddenly I realised that I was being dumb. I mean look at the pros and cons. Fitz was a Vacker. A Vacker. That was - apart from the councillors  the highest nobility family you could get. He had beautiful teal eyes and everyone wanted to be with him. Keefe was just a Sencen. He had a mum who had run away with the neverseen, and a dad who was just mean. MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT. Who was she kidding? She should like Fitz!

Suddenly she put her lips to his. He kissed her back after a bit. 

"Foster?" It was Keefe. He had guessed that they'd be at Everglen. "Oh. I'm obviously interrupting something." He said as I pulled away. He raised his crystal to the light. 

"Keefe, wait! I can  explain!" But he was already gone. She looked at Fitz. He raised an eyebrow.

"Well?" He said.

"Well what?" I replied.

"3:00 pm suit you?"

"No, it doesn't actually."

Now she was actually being dumb.  FItz was basically forcing her into liking him. She knew deep down that she still liked Keefe.

"I shouldn't have done that. I should go find Keefe. You're not going to force me into liking you. Yeah, I had a crush on you but, I truly loved Keefe. Keefe and only Keefe. So. Bye. If you keep on doing that to people you like, no one will like you."

I leaped to Shores of Solace. I found Keefe swinging on the hammock outside. 

"Kee-"

"I understand, Foster. You never liked me. Only Fitz."

"No Keefe, I DO like you."

"Then why were you kissing Fitz?" He said.

"Keefe, listen to me, I like you and only you. Please. Forgive me."

He cracked a smile.

"Fine."

"What about, say, 3:00 pm?"

"Sure.'
