I was glad Roman was distracted today. I could tell something was wrong but today is a hard day for me. It’s Teddy’s birthday. I don’t know why Althea and I were never as close as Teddy and I were. The ten-year age difference probably had a lot to do with it, but Althea was always out with friends or dreaming of becoming a Luna. She didn’t want me chasing after her and her friends. And, in truth, at my young age, I didn’t care about make-up and boys. Teddy and Roman were much more fun, exploring the forest and getting into mischief. And Teddy never seemed to mind me chasing after him and his friends. I still mourn on Althea’s and my parents' birthdays, but it’s not the same as it is with Teddy. He was my best friend and my hero.
I was surprised when Roman didn’t say anything about
