Base mess hall; Sunday evening; Sadie and OTA
The arsonist was still at large, which meant Sadie was still stuck on the base. It was pretty torturous. No, make that extremely torturous. She was stuck on the base and without work to distract herself, she had nothing to do but think nonstop about her lying spy ex-boyfriend, who happened to be somewhere on base as well. It was awful. And on top of that, she got pity and sympathy faces from nearly everyone she saw when they weren't just flat-out gawking. Yup, there she was! Silly little naive Sadie, all broken-hearted and pathetic.
So that sucked. At least she had her baking lessons with Midian to look forward to.
Tonight she managed to dodge meeting her parents for dinner. They were stuck on the base as well, and tended to be somewhat suffocating at times. But now she was alone and sat in one of the corners of the mess hall, picking at the mashed potatoes on her plate. She wondered where Eli was and what he was thinking right now. She'd long since given up chastising herself for wondering things like that.
