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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViEk9a6wHK

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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4GcuefbFc

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkVtSwi3VG

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAWBNouvv9

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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7csiZE9QL

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpfrlkst0y

“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.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNTgKYYp3s

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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3sDYbyDnQ

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5HJtM654d

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.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGy8r0vBds
891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxObB7YLPru
“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.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJq2hNnkMg
891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GaVdtiEjX
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJttmhQk27b

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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuosrJtJJN

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQt9bZUItl

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8fV2oPCty

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyrf8AtyTB

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.”891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifQylTGiu

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?891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ030DYLqy71
