SAGE I stared out the window and watched the sunrise. Today was the barbecue, and I may find my mate at midnight or tomorrow. I didn't know whether I was excited or nervous; I knew Nyx was excited, and I could feel it run through her when she was awake. I looked back at Nyx, who was still sleeping in my head. I had a lovely evening with Thomas. After our food, we stayed in my room and watched four marvel films, which I learned are his favorite. When the fourth one was done, it was getting late. I headed back to my room since I offered to stay in his. I got to look around his room, which was pretty cool for a seven-year-old. I would have loved the room he had when I was his age. Thomas had a racing car-themed bed and room but loved collecting action figures of his favorite characters,
