“You are both fools for not keeping an eye on the most precious thing on this beach,” he tells them. “I will take care of her. S’bren will not let her come to harm.” And he storms away. I’m wide-eyed with the viciousness in his tone. S’bren’s always been a bit of a goob, awkward and uncomfortable whenever any of the girls talk to him, except maybe Devi.

S’bren’s perfect for me. He’s kind and caring, a big burly bear of a guy that protects me when I need it, but gives me the space to do my own thing.

And he doesn’t want to change any of it. I’m perfect to him just the way I am.
