"I mean, obviously you're the best looking one," Luna agreed very seriously. "How could anyone resist that smug boyish charm?" She was teasing him, easily, openly. It felt good. Standing in a kitchen with Will making jokes put Michele so far away behind her that she could pretend she'd never even left.
Luna touched her bottle to Will's. "To your new boyfriend," she said with a wink.
She couldn't help thinking about the message he'd sent her.
He'd asked her to run away with him, to leave Peitho and run away. Had that been before whatever had happened with Tuck?
And if she'd decided yes, let's run away before she'd come home... what would that have meant now?
Obviously, it wouldn't mean anything. Will was with someone now, and they wouldn't be running away anywhere.
