When the call is returned, he says, \"Hey, sweet lips.\" The females at the table hush each other to get a better listen. A few of them whip their heads toward Emma to see if she's on the other end of the conversation. Satisfied she's not, they lean closer. Rachel snorts. \"If only you liked sweets.\" \"I can't wait to see you tonight. Wear that pink shirt I like.\" Rachel laughs. \"Sounds like you're in what we humans like to call a pickle. My poor, drop-dead-gorgeous sweet pea. Emma still not talking to you, leaving you alone with all those hormonal girls?\" \"Eight-thirty? That's so far away. Can't I meet you sooner?\" One of the females actually gets up and takes her tray and her attitude to another table. Galen tries not to get too excited. \"Do you need to be checked out of school, son? Are you feeling ill?\" Galen tosses a glance at Emma, who's picking a pepperoni off her pizza and eyeing it as if it were dolphin dung. \"I can't skip school to meet you again, boo. But I'll be thinking about you. No one but you.\" A few more females get up and stalk their trays to the trash. The cheerleader in front of him rolls her eyes and starts a conversation with the chubby brunette beside her-the same chubby brunette she pushed into a locker to get to him two hours ago. \"Be still my heart,\" Rachel drawls. \"But seriously, I can't read your signals. I don't know what you're asking me to do.\" \"Right now, nothing. But I might change my mind about skipping. I really miss you.\" Rachel clears her throat. \"All right, sweet pea. You just let your mama know, and she'll come get her wittle boy from school, okay?\" Galen hangs up. Why is Emma laughing again? Mark can't be that funny. The girl beside him clues him in: \"Mark Baker. All the girls love him. But not as much as they love you. Except maybe Emma, I guess.\" \"Speaking of all these girls, how did they get my phone number?\" She giggles. \"It's written on the wall in the girls' bathroom. One hundred hall.\" She holds her cell phone up to his face. An image of his number scrawled onto a stall door lights up the screen.

But as much as Galen would love to throw that in their faces, he won’t. This is his one chance, however small it is, to turn things around for him and Emma. And he’s not about to toss that chance to sea with both hands. Rachel has pulled more chairs out to accommodate the gathering. The table they circle is shinier than Emma’s lip gloss. Unlike the human meetings Galen has attended with Rachel to sell his underwater finds, there is no paperwork on the table, no cups of coffee, no cell phones. Also unlike human meetings, most participants are either dressed in bathing suits or bathrobes. Leave it to Rachel’s creative hospitality. It is a sight Galen will never forget, seeing the elderly council of Archives sit uncomfortably in human chairs. If the situation weren’t so dire, he’d have to laugh. Especially since Tandel’s bathrobe has the human symbol of peace all over it in fluorescent colors. “Thank you for coming,” Galen says. He takes his place next to Grom, who sits at the head of the table. Appropriately, Antonis sits at the head of the other end, accompanied by Rayna and Toraf. Emma is at Galen’s left side.

He runs a hand through his hair. I've never seen him this emotional before. He's always so controlled, so sure of himself. \"I'm saying you're what I want, Emma. I'm saying I'm in love with you.\" He steps forward and lifts his hand to my cheek, blazing a line of fire with his fingertips as they trace down to my mouth. \"How do you think it would make me feel to see you with Grom?\" he whispers. \"Like someone ripped my heart out and put it through Rachel's meat grinder, that's how. Probably worse. It would probably kill me. Emma, please don't cry.\" I throw my hands in the air. \"Don't cry? Are you serious? Why did you come here, Galen? Did you think it would make me feel better to know that you do love me, but that it still won't work out? That I still have to mate with Grom for the greater good? Don't you tell me not to cry, Galen! I...c...c...can't h...h...help-\" The waterworks soak me. Galen looks at me, hands by his side, helpless as a trapped crab. I'm bordering on hyperventilation, and pretty soon I'll start hiccupping. This is too much. His expression is so severe, it looks like he's in physical pain. \"Emma,\" he breathes. \"Emma, does this mean you feel the same way? Do you care for me at all?\" I laugh, but it sounds sharper than I intended, because of a hiccup. \"What does it matter how I feel, Galen? I think we pretty much covered why. No need to rehash things, right?\" \"It matters, Emma.\" He grabs my hand and pulls me to him again. \"Tell me right now. Do you care for me?\" \"If you can't tell that I'm stupid in love with you, Galen, then you aren't a very good ambassador for the hum-\" His mouth covers mine, cutting me off.

He laughs. \"I didn't come all the way to Atlantic City to make you cry.\" \"I'm not crying.\" I lean into him again.
