“Don’t look so shocked, wind boy,” I teased, nudging his shoulder lightly. “You didn’t really think I only used blue flames and water, did you?”

I shrugged, pretending to study my nails. “Maybe. Or maybe you were too busy glaring at anyone who dared breathe near me to notice.”
That earned me one of his dark, warning looks — the kind that used to send shivers down my spine but now just made me want to laugh.
“You’re impossible,” he said under his breath.
“I know,” I replied sweetly. “But I'm strong, so you can't do anything about it.”
