Chapter Seven

"Ugh, I can die happy now. These are so good." I take the last bite of my pancakes. Jonas's face pales.

"Please don't die," he pleads. I smile, kissing him on the cheek.

"It was an expression. We both know death hates me." Jonas takes away the empty plates, putting them to the side, before taking my hand, placing a kiss on each of the knuckles.

"I love you, Iris Blackwood," he whispers. I blush.

"I love you too." A knock echos on the door. Jonas sighs.

"Who is it?"

"Your brother," Colton's muffled voice says. Jonas rolls his eyes.

"I guess this is payback for the whole shipping his girlfriend off to another country thing." He stands, opening the bedroom door. Colton has changed suits, his hands shaking.

"I need the two of you in the maze. Please. Hide, somewhere someone going to the fountain wouldn't see."

"Like Vienna?" Jonas asks, an eyebrow raised. Lucky. Colton nods. "You have the ring?"

"Since before your Expiration."

"You didn't get rid of it when you broke up?" I ask, walking to stand next to them. Colton glares at me.

"I kidnapped you and my cousin overseas. Obviously I kept the ring." Jonas shakes his head.

"Yeah, thanks for that, brother."

"You're both alive, and I'm about to propose to Vienna. I think that makes the trip a net positive."

"You were shot," I add.

"I'm about to propose to Vienna. That was factored into the equation, darling." He looks at Jonas. "The two of you have five minutes."

"Good luck," Jonas mutters as his brother rushes away.
