It was sundown. Newt and I never stopped talking, though eventually, we sat down instead of walking.

"Newt?" I started. "I know it's hard, but can you try to talk to Liz- Sonya sometime? I don't want to force you, but..." I trailed off.

Newt nodded. "I'll try tonight."
I smiled and wrapped my arm around him.

"That's great of you."

Just as Newt told me he would do, he went to talk to Sonya. I waited outside for him, excited to see the outcome.

Finally, after what seemed hours, Newt and Sonya walked out of the hut. I decided not to jump them and just wait for Newt to walk over to me. The boy talked to Sonya for a bit before hugging her. It made me realize things were going the right way.

With a big smile on his face, Newt rushed over to me. I noticed that his eyes were red. He cried.

"And?"

Newt took a deep breath. "She remembers, Nora!"

"Really? Oh, I'm so happy for you, Newt!" I enthusiastically replied. After all those years Newt finally had his sister back.

"It's a bit awkward at the beginning, but now we both remember everything it's easier," Newt explained.

"Hey, love?" Newt asked. We lay in our bed. Me on Newt's lap. He was just playing with my hair and I almost fell asleep at the comfort.

"Hmm?" I responded with my eyes still closed.

"Do you know how beautiful I find you?" Newt suddenly asked. I was surprised by his sudden comment and felt genuinely fluttered.

"I don't know." I smiled.

"I find you the most beautiful girl in the whole world. No one could overcome your beauty. And when I look at you I realize how lucky I actually am. Do you know how some guys in here look at you? It makes me want to punch them. Trust me, some boys have an eye on you. But they're not wrong about that, if I wasn't your boyfriend, I would be very jealous of the boy who was. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and the kindest ever. You care about everyone but can also argue if it's necessary. A bit sassy, but that only makes stuff better. Quite outgoing, but also shy. And you never stopped biting your lip. Sometimes you're in deep thought and then I watch you, or your lips. It takes my breath away. Literally. The most perfect girl in the world... no. The most perfect girl in the universe."

Stunned, surprised, shocked... whatever you want to call it, I opened my eyes. My heart started beating faster at Newt's comment. My whole face flushed bright red and I got tears in my eyes. What he just said was the sweetest... no, most perfect thing someone ever said to me.

"Nor?" Newt carefully asked when I didn't respond. I moved my head off his lap and looked at him with my watery eyes. Newt's face dropped.

"No, no, no. Please don't cry. I didn't mean to make you cry." Newt pulled me up. "I hate it when you cry." 

I smiled through my tears and sobs before hugging Newt tightly. "Sorry- I just. That was so sweet of you, Newt. It was so perfect you made me cry." I chuckled. "I love you."

"I love you," Newt replied. He held me in his arms tightly. I felt so safe again.

When I woke up, Newt had shifted positions, of course. He almost fell off the bed.

"Newt." I chuckled. "You're gonna fall if you don't wake up."
The boy didn't respond and kept sleeping with his mouth wide open.
"Newt!" I yelled.

His eyes shot open and he let out a yelp before falling onto the ground. I laughed out loud.

"Bloody hell," Newt muttered as he rubbed his head. "Good morning to you too."

"You know what I think?" I questioned.

"That next time you should help your boyfriend instead of letting him bump his head onto the hard floor causing him to get a minor heart attack and a concussion which may lead to serious issues when he's older?"

I chuckled. "Sorry 'bout that. But I was thinking about Logan and Liana."
Newt was about to say something, but I interrupted.
"Don't you dare say anything about Logan. Right now you have no reason to be jealous of him 'cause obviously he's in love with Liana."

"He's in love with Liana?" Newt repeated.

"God, you're so clueless." I sighed.

"I only have my eye on you. I don't care what Logan does."

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Anyways. Liana is in love with him too, obviously. So let's set 'em up."

"Like Minho, Gally, and Logan did to us in the Glade?" Newt frowned.

"Exactly," I answered. A grin formed on my face. Newt's eyebrows furrowed even more and he didn't seem to like the idea. "And you'll be able to get revenge on Logan," I added.

Then Newt raised his eyebrows. "Alright. Let's do it. We gotta bring Minho into this, though."
