I spin around and leave, heading up to my room to try and figure out where to take her.
It has to be perfect.

There’s a knock on the door to the room I’m sharing with Felix.
“Come in!” I shout.
I’m relaxing in bed, reading a book on my e-reader. With this many people around, it’s hard to find time to read so I’ve been taking the opportunity whenever it arises. Aksel has been focused on finding information about the items Killian stole from Eugine. Which has left the rest of us in limbo.
I guess this moment is over.
Blaze walks in, surprising me enough that I’m no longer disappointed.
“Hey Blaze, what’s up?”
He looks around the room, probably wondering what I’m doing in here.
I hold up my e-reader so he can see. “Just reading while I had a chance.”
He nods and just stares at the device.
“I don’t mind you interrupting. Not at all,” I reassure him.
He looks unsure like he’s regretting coming in here.
“I’m going to let my dragon out. He’s been tense since our escape. I want to give him time to stretch his wings where there is no stress. Do you want to come?”
I jump off the bed and throw my reader down.
“Of course I do!”
I look down at my outfit. I’m wearing sleep shorts and a tank top. Probably not warm enough for what I’m going to convince Blaze to let me do.
“Let me get changed. I’ll meet you downstairs,” I say.
He nods and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him so I can get dressed. I throw on long pants and a thin sweatshirt. I match it with my favorite pair of platform sneakers that aren’t as amazing as heels but still make me feel powerful.
I practically run down the stairs in my excitement to see Blaze’s dragon again.
He’s standing by the back door waiting for me. He looks adorably nervous which is silly considering I’ve already seen his dragon, but maybe he’s thinking the same thing I am.
I grab his hand as we go outside so we can transport out of here.
When we land in the same spot as last time, I take a moment to take in the beauty all around me. The air is fresh and crisp, there’s dew on the grass and I feel like an ant next to these massive trees.
I turn back to Blaze to find him staring at me with a small, barely there, smile on his face.
The more time I spend with him, the more I get to see these little tilts on his lips and I am obsessed with them. Getting a smile out of Blaze feels like winning the lottery.
And I get to do it over and over.
I take a deep breath and prepare myself to ask Blaze but he beats me to it.
“Do you want to fly with me? Not clutched in my claw this time.”
