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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWar0LLCLCy

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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40DR9EjlTD

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2R2OgOxM

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCwNWYHtRO

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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCvH0Mykh

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlENJLOnc9

“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.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYruR1sAhOM

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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZmeulvdsH

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Msn3wqJvL
872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ib3wAAKt6
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.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUSQAUpf2C
872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsehlvVhxp9
“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.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pJSS9PaB8

He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozcizAvhv

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.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGQqor3kSY

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfAD9IKKyb

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgDUXVVqD

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbbcBCN5N7

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.”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnTDYdNUcX
872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8KMYqaZVR
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?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdN0LYy0B
