Three it is, and Isla's sunny smile cements their plan in place for the following day. "You know, I can see it," she says of Mateo and his outfit planning, recalling the vibrance of the young man she'd seen parting the crowd in The Hanged Man like butter. "Did he also plan your outfit as well?" she wonders, because she's well aware that the botanist's proclivities often extend to those closest to him (whether personally or simply in proximity).
It says a lot for how long it has been and how precious these moments are that Isla would sit for hours out here with the aviator, enjoying little more than the sensation of his thumb ghosting over the back of her knuckles. But then he stills and his eyes are on hers, and Isla nearly apologises for speaking so candidly when Ever's agreement spills past lips that seem very, very kissable all of a sudden.
"From what I know of this version of you so far, I can say that the odds are in his favour for tomorrow," she says with a soft chuckle, before taking a long, deep breath and letting it out again. "Do you suppose we ought to go back into the party? I wouldn't want them to think we've ditched Flora's last night in Haulani."

we're gonna separate ourselves tonight
we're always running scared but holding knives
