Thomas had never spent much time outside. At least, not that he remembered. In the world that he was from, there was a very good reason for that - except at the extreme edges of the world, far in the north and the south, near the poles, there was really nothing left. The Scorch was a desolate wasteland that had been completely destroyed by the flares, but even the areas to the north and south of that had been affected, and they were where most of the Cranks lived.
The Glade had seemed like a beautiful, outdoor sort of place, but the truth was that it wasn't - it had been indoor the whole time. So truly being outside, in the fresh air, was something that Thomas was pretty sure he'd never done. At least, not since he'd been a small boy, in the days before the flares had ravaged the world.
It was cool out tonight, but not excessively so. He was comfortable in a long sleeve t-shirt, although it was getting chilly enough that he knew he wouldn't be too much longer. He wouldn't stay outside too long, but the sounds of nighttime comforted him.
He didn't notice the girl until he was practically right on top of her, and nearly jumped.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to - " He hadn't meant to interrupt her quiet time with his own.
