On the rare occasions when they were assigned joint missions, Lili would insist on driving-Raz, meanwhile, would just slide down in the passenger seat and hope that the g-forces wouldn't kill them.

He hadn't seen her cry since they were ten, so when she flew out to London to meet him, a message from his mother in one hand and her eyes full of tears, he knew something was wrong. #17 - Tears (in my head, this is a prequel to #13 - ed.) Sasha always warned him that love, like most powerful emotions, was a weakness-Raz had to agree the woozy feeling he got whenever Lili stood too close to him was the most distracting thing he'd ever felt. "Lili," he said, fumbling around, trying to guess where she was by feel, "there's no point to strip poker if you're going to turn invisible when you lose." The first time, they were seventeen-it was awkward and fumbling and Raz was sure the whole time that someone was going to catch them.but that wasn't to say they weren't willing to try it again later. When they buried his father, she stood close beside him, her hand clutching his so tightly she nearly broke his fingers. When they studied Russian history in 11th grade, Lili almost failed two of her tests for consistently misspelling "Rasputin" with a z instead of an s.Īlthough he hadn't seen her in years, he still thought of her, what she looked like now, how she was doing.if she had any idea how fast she made his blood run, she'd probably laugh herself sick. "Your ears stick out from the side of your head a lot," she told him once, reaching up and tugging on one for added emphasis. Lili stared at the caller ID, watching it cycle through over fifty missed calls from a "caller unknown"-she knew exactly who it was, of course, she just didn't know if she could bring herself to forgive him yet. The morning of her sixteenth birthday, Lili woke up on the couch, all tangled up in Raz's arms-she wasn't quite sure how she'd gotten there, but at the moment, she didn't really care. It took Raz three Valentine's Days to realize that maybe, just maybe, Lili didn't like chocolate all that much. It was raining the night she told him she quit, it was over, and it poured rain the day he moved all his stuff out of their apartment-Lili was starting to hate water almost as much as he did. "Oh, please," Lili said to him, trying hard not to let the worry show on her face, "it's only a little bullet-you'll be fine."Īs a New Year's resolution, Lili promised to take her anger at him out on something inanimate, like vegetables, whenever they argued: that was why they ate so many mashed potatoes that year. The third time he kissed her wasn't like the first time, or even the second: he was covered in mud, still a little dazed from a confusion grenade, and mistook her ankles for her head and accidentally kissed her shoelaces.Įvery time Lili looked at Raz she worried that he was too skinny, gangly, and in desperate need of a sandwich, but at least his sweater was comfy-precisely why she'd stolen it and refused to give it back. Lili isn't the kind of girl who needs anybody to take care of her, and usually she likes it that way, but the longer her father stays missing, the more she wishes she'd never pushed Raz away. Sorry for some Tolstoy-esque sentences I think I was channeling my inner Russian when I wrote some of these. And these are in no particular order, although they all take place after the game, and tend to switch time periods and storylines at random (and, sometimes, tense!
