I stare at the photo of myself. Itâs one that I know well, and Iâm not entirely surprised that itâs in Jesseâs folder. Heâll see his photo in mine soon enough and oddly enough Iâm not embarrassed by it. Iâm relieved because that means he cares about me and maybe just as much as I care about him. Itâs good, Iâm glad itâs finally coming out and apparently, everyone knows it. A part of me just worries that he wonât feel the same or heâll suppress it for what he might feel like is the good of the mission which is to get me back to the Dome.
I close the folder and just stare at the desk. I refuse to let Liliana see the look in my eyes right now. The look of want and wondering if Iâm going to be enough for Jesse to finally tell me how he feels. I feel his hand on my knee under the table and itâs such a move that makes my eyes instantly look over at him. He just stares at me and gently squeezes my knee, unspoken words and feelings pass between us, and a slow smile creeps across my face. His mouth mirrors mine and I slide my hand under the table and lay it on top of his on my knee.
We both look at Liliana and sheâs studiously ignoring us. Another surprise. I figured she would be basking in our show of emotion, ready to pounce with some snide comment or a back-handedcompliment. That seems to be her favorite thing when sheâs feeling left out or unnoticed. She thinks that we havenât caught on to her, but I have. Maybe itâs because of how I used to feel when Iâd see popular girls in school, and I envied their friendships but itâs the same emotion. I can always see it when she feels this way. Sheâll busy herself with some small tasks or act bored.
We sit like that with our hands touching, his hand on my knee. We donât try to hide it or move and when she finally looks our way she steps forward and takes the folders from the desk. She walks back to the podium and sits them down with hers and finally turns back toward us. âYouâll both be leaving here in two days.â That surprises me because I figured our lessons would continue for several weeks or at least a few more days, then we would move on to something else. I guess I was wrong.
I speak up before Jesse has the chance to. âWhat do you mean leaving? Like never to return here?â
Liliana slowly nods her head up and down. âPossibly yes. You may return here at any time, but we will be putting both of you into the tunnels in 48 hours. There have been some incidents that have occurred on the outside that have us concerned for your safety here.â
Jesse snaps at her. âWhat incidents?â
Liliana doesnât hesitate to answer, âWeâve seen an uptake in the amount of people hovering in the area.
