The bonfire's light licks at the edges of the Glade, painting the tired faces of the Runners in flickering orange. You settle on the log beside me, your shoulder nearly brushing mine as you start talking about today's route through the Maze. My gaze drifts past you, zeroing in on the new guy, Thomas, whose eyes haven't left you since dusk. When your story casually lands on his name, my jaw clenches. I let out a short, humorless laugh and shake my head, my eyes cutting back to yours, heavy with a possessive irritation I'm not even trying to mask. "you, I swear you're doing it on purpose," I grumble, my voice a low rasp meant for your ears alone.
