The rocks bouncing off the window were what woke Moirine up. Though, to tell the truth, she hadn’t been sleeping. She’d been lying in bed half awake, listening for sounds from the hallway. She listened again, and once more heard the distinctive sound of gravel cascading against glass. Swinging her legs off the bed, she pushed the window open and stuck her head out. “Mari!” she hissed, knowing only one person who’d dare sneak to the Burrell household this late.
Mari was crouching down by the bushes, gathering up more dirt and stones. “Hey!” She called back, in a stage whisper. “What’s up!”
“Get out of here! My dad’ll kill you if he sees you.”
“No he won’t, that’s illegal.”
“Shut up.”
“I’m coming up,” Mari told her. "We need to talk."
"No we don't!"
"We do!"
“I’ll come down,” Moirine sighed, knowing she couldn’t convince her to butt out.
When she came through the door into the gathering night, Mari was waiting for her. She fell into her arms, crashed against her, and her lips pressed against Mari’s. Mari held her, somehow solid despite everything. They looked into each other’s eyes. “I have a car,” Mari said, slowly. “We have all night.”
“We have forever,” Moirine said, and took her hand.
