\u201cMiles\u2026\u201d He wore a tan fleece, camouflage pants, and combat boots\u2014an awful combination that made me wonder if someone else laid out his clothes for him while we were home. The neck of his once-white turtleneck was covered with clumsy streaks of black and green face paint while faint traces of said colors were still patched in pieces along the bridge of his thick nose, broad forehead, and full cheeks.<\/p>\n

There was pink, too, coloring his expression as his deep gaze roamed over my face. Miles. I pushed to my knees, straddling him, and couldn\u2019t hold back from tracing my fingers over his cheekbones. It was almost something of a dream\u2014this was the first time I\u2019d witnessed Miles with anything more than scratchy stubble, and though his beard was still wiry, it had grown much fuller than the last time I\u2019d seen him unshaven.<\/p>\n

So, given time, he could grow a beard. The knot in my chest loosened as the rest of the tension I\u2019d been carrying faded away. He was finally with me again, and even though he would probably hate the idea, he was the most beautiful thing I\u2019d ever seen. I was finally anchored back to earth after flying free in the wind. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d he asked. He touched my shoulders, and the warmth of his hands sank into my joints. He sat up, with me still in his lap, until our faces were close.<\/p>\n

The shock of our meeting began to fade, and reality settled in. We\u2019d finally found him! Or rather, I\u2019d found him. Ultimately, Titus had been useless, leaving me to fend for myself. After all that posturing and the childish games. What in the world was the point of abandoning me? \u201cTitus found me five minutes ago,\u201d Miles said, brushing his fingertips over my forehead. \u201cBut he didn\u2019t tell me you were here too.\u201d All right, perhaps I hadn\u2019t been the first to find Miles.<\/p>\n

No matter.<\/p>\n

The words hung in the air of the nearly empty office, making the knot in my stomach tighten even more. God, I sound pathetic. It shouldn\u2019t hurt this much, right? Miles and I barely knew each other, if you wanted to be logical. It\u2019d only been a few weeks since I met my quintet. But still, saying it out loud made it feel\u2026 real. I\u2019d never been good at sitting still. Even when my adoptive mom had me on lockdown\u2014school and Finn\u2019s being my only escape\u2014I always found ways to keep busy.<\/p>\n

Gardening, gaming, burying my nose in books\u2026 anything to stop my mind from spinning out of control. But now? Damen\u2019s greenhouse was a total disaster zone, and I couldn\u2019t even care enough to fix it. That was how I knew that something was seriously wrong. Why did Miles\u2019s absence leave such a weird, achy feeling in my chest? \u201cDo you think I hurt his feelings?\u201d<\/p>\n

I asked Dr. Kohler, frowning at the beige carpet. Who thought beige was a good color scheme for a hospital?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
