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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPV3ymPp1h

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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLF0ipAo6Q

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oightVSQT

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHhdopUFU2

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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaZUqVQUc9

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SFL972Evi

“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.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1nKfw7hIW

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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJWsQaiXMN

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt7Cim5JJ8

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.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0LgzbvNp
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGkGVWvUlk
“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.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbLzishgK2

He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9YT4oF3qm

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.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo2YyUNdrm

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ToIgo9kr

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqucHLiYC3h

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35eeqEcmQF

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.”905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMlneTqgD

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?905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvPDcNCjyi
