"Again with my room." Finn pouted as Jett walked in. Everyone stood around the map and the bomb layout. They were checking the final steps. Jett's part mattered most.
"You're finally here." Rey let out a tired breath. "Feeling okay now?"
"Oh, yeah. Sure." Jett answered, but his mind was somewhere else, 'if you can to call what I just went through okay though.'
"Where is Freya?" Evelina asked. She checked behind him. "She stayed to look after you, right?"
"She is... She will be here soon. Haha..." Jett's laugh came out thin. His thoughts ran wild.
*****
Jett tried to keep a straight face, but his thoughts scrambled the moment he stood with the group.
His mind replayed everything at once.
Elora's voice close to his ear.
Her hand on his forehead.
Her face inches from his.
Freya waking up with sleepy eyes.
Her grabbing his cheeks without warning.
Her breath close as she checked him.
His chest tightened. His ears warmed. His mind tripped over itself.
