Will tells me he couldn’t find me the previous night, even though he kept searching. I feel a prickle of guilt. I should have found him last night and told him to go back to his dormitory.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV6zpviSPS

I’m afraid of what he might think of me, but I still tell him about the classroom and ask for his opinion. I hesitantly tell him Roanna’s idea about the psychiatric hospital.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wytNsf3cD

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ8veFj03X

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTjRlEW87

I would prefer to hang out with Will indoors, but he prefers to be outside—even in the rain. He’s a complete nutter, but that’s probably what I love most about him.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrmLtuVTJm

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVK43PryAZ

“You didn’t see them, though.” I shudder as the scene flashes before my eyes. “I will never again roll my eyes when someone has a ghost sighting.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmXrc6kkgx

Will closes the space between us and laces his fingers through mine. They feel light and cool. He looks like he’s about to say something but closes his mouth and turns away.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW2qQdr7H9

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Qlu8Gwxm
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ40UU6PECQ
He looks at me as if deliberating and finally says, “I have a surprise for you. I wasn’t going to show you until the spring.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq1YEJIQQm
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68x3LYTXC
“Oh, what is it?” I say, glad for a distraction and warmed at the thought that Will has something for me. “I suck at being patient. Please tell me.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFzz2mMtG0
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfBKqd7ksS
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuZVTxd0d0

We walk hand-in-hand through the grounds, but none of the other students spares us even a glance. It isn’t that I want attention, but it surprises me that nobody is the least bit curious about the girl Will Poynter is holding hands with.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZero9PhN

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI395Jz0NE

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GsFIsQrux

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIeJbWbqEW

I stare at him, my eyes filming over. Nobody has ever done anything half as sweet for me. I want to tell him so, but instead, I just say, “Thank you.”892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfILh14HeB

He leans like he’s about to kiss me, but then pulls away at the last moment. The pounding of my pulse fizzles into disappointment. You would think two years is long enough, wouldn’t you?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Hiz7UlxY
