I scoff at her initial response, brow raising. I barely know Effy, and still it hardly surprises me to hear that. She seems like a girl unafraid of risks, one who'll take any thrill she can get. The thought makes me uneasy, and I push it aside. "Yeah," I say wryly. "The time I jumped was the first time I met her."
I think back to it, and what I remember is less the descent than the ascent, the way we raced up that hill, the sway of her hips, a deliberate, provocative roll. She drew me in like a siren, impossibly alluring and mysterious, but even then, I think I knew she was just a stand-in for Thalia, back before I thought I had a chance with either of them, with anyone at all. "It's... I don't know. It's jumping. It's over fast."
