Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Story (Divergent, #1.5)

by Veronica Roth

But Peter’s right, she’s not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.

I can’t leave now. I like her too much. There, I said it. But I won’t say it again.

Tobias hands over his gun, but when I reach behind me to take out my own concealed weapon, he grabs my hand, guiding it away from my back. Then he laces his fingers with mine to cover up what he just did.
