Keefe's point of view:

Foster, Foster, Foster... I think to myself. I am in love with you... no... I like you... no... how was I ever even going to do this with Fitz in the Healing Center too?

"You still working on how to confess to your girl, Hunkyhair?" Ro asks me as she blows on her pink and purple nails.

"That's none of your business, Bacteria Bodyguard, so would you please stop bothering me?" I tell her.

She straightens up, probably at the name, and glares at me.

"Call me that again, and you will get some bacteria on you," she warns me.

I stick my tongue out at her but stay silent the rest of the time.

"Keefe? Are you working on your Empathy?" My dad calls from the hallway.

"Oh my dear loving father, of course I am! It's my ability, isn't it? I've already read through the first fifty books out of the one hundred you gave me. Now, before you get all proud, I would like you to step back so I can't feel all the mushy father son proud vomit feelings, because I think my power is getting too strong for you even... am I correct?"

He sighs and then I hear him walk up to my door and start to turn the silver handle...

"Nope! Sorry daddio. You are not coming into Hunkyhair's disaster room. If you're getting lonely out there because your wife is out there plotting how to kill his best friends, I can always give you some of my bacteria buddies. They can be really fun sometimes. Oh! And that also means you can spend some more bonding time with Elwin too! Right? How nice would that be?" Ro asks, pushing against the door so he can't barge in.

I hear my dad grumble something about rude kids and how they will never change, but miraculously, walks away.

"Thanks," I mumble to Ro

"Of course! I'm your bodyguard after all, aren't I?" she asks, walking over to rumple my perfect hair, "But because I did that, it's gonna cost you a dare from me."

"No it is not," I tell her firmly

She looks at me set a back, "Oh. So that's how you want to play, do you? I'll just go get Daddio now and tell him he can spend the night in your disaster room. How 'bout that?"

I grind my teeth together. "Fine. What's your dare?" I ask

She then smiles the most wide smile I've ever seen.

"I think it's about time you've confessed your love for Sophie."
