June et Day ont échappé à leurs poursuivants. Réfugiés à Vegas, ils rencontrent un groupe de rebelles, les Patriotes, qui consentent à les aider à s ́enfuir. Mais il y a une condition. Prêts à tout, les deux adolescents acceptent : ils savent que, sans les rebelles, leurs heures sont comptées. Pourtant, June doute : et s ́ils s'apprêtaient à plonger le pays dans la guerre civile ? Déchirée entre son sens du devoir, ses intuitions et ses sentiments, elle devra prendre la décision la plus difficile de son existence. Et Day aura-t-il suffisamment confiance en sa nouvelle complice pour remettre sa vie et celle des siens entre ses mains ?

The Republic's most wanted criminal is just a boy, sitting before me, suddenly vulnerable, laying all his weaknesses out for me to see.

“…I remember that I have actually pistol-whipped him in the face before. Romantic.”

“I'm not going to let him see the chaos I'm feeling.”

“He gives me a smile that shatters something inside me.”

“My heart is ripped open, shredded, leaking blood.”

He is the silver lining in a world of darkness.

I secretly hope he saves a part of his joy for me too.

“Oh.” Day picks up one of the things he’s making, something that looks like a metal circle. “Just passing the time.” He holds the circle up to the light, and then takes my hand. He presses it into my palm. “A gift for you.”

I study it more closely. It’s made of four unfurled paper clips carefully entwined around one another in a spiral, and pulled together end to end so they form a tiny ring. Simple and neat. Artistic, even. I can see love and care in the twists of metal, the little bends where Day’s fingers worked on the wire over and over until it formed the right curves. He made it for me.

I turn even more flustered when I remember that I have actually pistol-whipped him in the face before. Romantic.

“That’s what I mean. You treat June differently.”

“Doesn’t mean I don’t care about you.”

“If you had to choose between saving either me or June, and you had no time to waste . . . what would you do? Who would you save?” Tess uses a sleeve to wipe her face and waits for my answer.

“I don’t know. Because June wouldn’t need my help.”
