'Hilgarda, when you're finished, I've got an even more formidable challenge for you.'

'I already know what you're going to ask. You want me to set up a meeting with people we've only just stopped fighting. It's impossible, Jake, unless-'

'Stay where you are, I have an idea, but we can discuss it in person. Could you give me half an hour?'

The call disconnected before I'd even had the chance to answer, so I let my aching arm drop to my waist. It wasn't like I was in a position to say no, though. 'How would you feel about going for a walk?'

Cali smiled. 'Is Jake Goodwin asking me out on a real date?'

I took a bow. 'He is; do you accept?'

'You're such an idiot, but you're a tolerable one,' she linked her arm in mine. 'Show me Dauntless.'

'I will, but only because you say I'm one of the more tolerable ones.'

Cali laughed. 'Try not to let it go to your head, though.'
