    Alpha.

    Cress leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees, "Like the star?"

    "What star?"

    She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha. I thought maybe you meant that she's...like...your brightest star." Looking away, she knotted her hands in her lap, aware that she was blushing furiously now and this beast of a man was about to realize what an over-romantic sap she was.

    “Captain,” she murmured.
    “I think I’m in love with you.”

    "Aaaaw," squealed Iko. "Did Wolf just say that he loves Scarlet? That's so cute!"

    Scarlet cringed. "He did not--that wasn't--" She balled her fists against her sides. "Can we get back to these soldiers that are being rounded up, please?"

    "Is she blushing? She sounds like she's blushing."

    "She's blushing," Thorne confirmed, shuffling the cards. "Actually, Wolf is also looking a little flustered--”

    “All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
    Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
    Iko's hand shot into the air.
    "Yes, Iko?"
    "That is the best idea ever. Count me in.”

    "It's beautiful out there."
    A hesitation, before, "Could you be more specific?"

    "Oh, good. You've really narrowed it down for me."
    "I'm sorry, it's just..." She tried to stamp down the rush of emotion. "I think we're in a desert."
    "Cactuses and tumbleweeds?"
    "No just a lot of sand. It's kind of orangish-gold, with hints of pink, and I can see tiny clouds of it floating above the ground, like...like smoke."
    "Piles up in lots of hills?"
