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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjANM9MFJv

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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMV3Fv3bSR

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ6mkkhQg5

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg50BD2qyj

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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE27HDk951a

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYJGQtyX98

“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.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUn63hlf8H

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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7HT5P5NzC

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV76Aaa6R1

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.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYmFP7Hwzb
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMfU2Nu2rT
“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.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgscIDhTtct
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAiAXyEOV7
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOwV4ncy7Y

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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquemGc780J

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzZezZA6M6

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmyQtmOS1u

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTomaew3rBt

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.”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvfmgMj7rj

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?815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyiYaVJTzT
