Summary
Ask her if she reads. No, dumb—she clearly reads.
Say something about the weather. What are you, eighty?

Cait looked up at her with that soft, surprised smile again—like Vi had done something remarkable just by remembering.
“Thank you,” she said, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’re very kind.”
Vi scratched the back of her neck, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. She didn’t want to leave. She wanted to stay right there.
But her throat went dry. The café buzzed around them, and Vi’s brain—usually quick, sharp—offered nothing.
Idiot.
__________As December nears, Cait arrives in Zaun, hoping to find a sense of home—something to anchor her through the harshness of military training. She finds it in a quiet café, and in the girl behind the counter who takes her breath away. Truth is, they leave each other breathless.
Neither of them is prepared for what fate has in store for their tragic, yet beautiful story.
