“Who are you?”He pushed further back into the shadows as she strode closer. “Someone you need not know.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”When he didn’t answer, she sighed.“What a strange, terrible day,” she mumbled. “Well, at least tell me your name . . .”He stood, speechless, knowing he shouldn’t be there at all—conversing with a Meleyan—especially not their musical deliverer that he was set to doom the day after tomorrow.A peculiar grumbling interrupted her insistence, to his relief.“Sorry.” She patted her stomach. He could see, even in the blackened night, how her face turned a deeper shade of red than her hair. “I’ve forgotten to eat. I guess I’m hungrier than I realized.”He plucked an apple from the tree he’d nearly become a part of and held it out to her. The girl approached tentatively. She reached for the fruit but recoiled when her fingers brushed his.“Is touching me so horrible?” he asked.Her jaw dropped open and her delicate brow furrowed. She inclined her head. “It . . . hurt.”“How?” he asked, for her fingers felt good to him, soothing. Warm. He wanted to try again.“I don’t know how to explain . . .”“Hum.” Unsatisfied with the answer, he tossed the apple to her and watched as she crunched her teeth into it.
