Insurgent
by Veronica Roth
Tobias closes his eyes. I trust the dwindling fire to disguise us as I run my hand up his back, touching each tattoo without seeing it. I imagine Erudite's staring eye, Candor's unbalanced scales, Abnegation's clasped hands, and the Dauntless flame. With my other hand I find the patch of fire tattooed over his rib cage. I feel his heavy breaths against my cheek."I wish we were alone," he says."I almost always wish that," I say.
