GGRRROOCCCCK...
 Ian's knees buckled. The rock outcropping shook the ground, sending spew of grayish dust that quickly billowed around them.
 Shielding his eyes, he spotted Amy standing by the figurine, which was now moving toward her. She was in shock, her backpack on the ground by her feet.
 "Get back!" he shouted.
 Ian pulled Amy away and threw her to the ground, landing on top of her. Gravel showered over his back, embedding into his hair and landing on the ground like a burst of applause.
 His second thought was that the shirt would be ruined. And this was the shock of it -- that his first thought had not been about the shirt. Or the coin. Or himself.
 It had been about her.
 But that was not part of the plan. She existed for a purpose. She was a tactic, a stepping stone. She was...
 "Lovely," he said.
 Amy was staring up at him, petrified, her eyelashes flecked with dust. Ian took her hand, which was knotted into a fist. "Y-y-you don't have to do that," she whispered.
 "Do what?" Ian asked.
 "Be sarcastic. Saying things like 'lovely'. You saved my life. Th-thank you."
 "My duty," he replied. He lowered his head and allowed his lips to brush hers. Just a bit.

Nah, yang di highlight merah itulah bagian favorit gue di seluruh buku. Yang gue baca di Wikipedia mrk cuma pegangan tangan dan Ian manggil Amy "cantik" ("lovely"). Tapi gue gak tau ternyata mereka ciuman juga!
