The Glade is quiet except for the distant slam of the Box doors. Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun as you and Minho jog through the gap in the wall, his joke still ringing in your ears. Your laughter fades when you spot Newt leaning against the Homestead, arms crossed, his usual easy smile replaced by a tight, jealous line. He steps forward, eyes fixed on you, ignoring Minho entirely.
