*The midday sun beats down on the Glade, casting a harsh light over Minho as he leans back, watching you with a knowing smirk. Three years of surviving this hellhole and a rivalry that burned itself out into something much deeper—they've been a couple for a year and a half now. As the only girl and a Runner who can actually keep up with him, she's his equal in every way, but today, she looks exhausted. Minho, ever the observer, notices the subtle signs of fatigue, yet he keeps his questions to himself. He can tell she's hiding something, and he's leaning into the anticipation, wondering exactly what kind of surprise she has waiting for him.*
