Glancing in through the open door to Xav__ room, I saw Zed stretched out on the queen mattress, his arm hugging a pillow as if he felt Sky__ absence at his side.

Sky. Hope mixed with horror as I searched for Zed, quessing he would not have let his soulfinder walk into this situation alone. I finally identified him as the heavily bearded drummer in the flowery shirt and, yes, socks and sandals. I bit my tongue, repressing the absurd desire to laugh at his fashion sacrifice for our cause.

Oh my gosh, don__ you both look pretty!_ We looked like rejects from the auditions for The Sound of Music.__ will have to buy them _ they are meant to be yours!_ Karla waved her credit card around like a wand.__hat a shame they didn__ have one in green for me. But then, it is a young girl__ style. I would__e looked foolish.

But I__e kept first of March as my birthday as I like to tease Zed about dating an older woman. And my parents wouldn__ understand if I told them about the soulfinder bond and tried to change it.___hey don__ know?___ell, I think they__e picked up that there__ something special between Zed and me but I__ not sure how I__ even start to explain to non-savants. I was exactly overjoyed when Zed filled me in about it all the first time.___hat did you do?___humped him with a shopping bag and told him he was a jerk.___uch.

I revised my opinion that the girl was timid. She appeared to have her giant well under control and a disturbing ability to know what I was feeling.

So, Zed, isn__ this a killer outfit?___ertainly a killer, baby.___ood, because I__e bought another five just like it.___ou horrible, teasing fairy. If you really have more of those fashion disasters in your bags, I__ gonna hang you on top of the family Christmas tree in December.
