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.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufVYf0rHoG

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.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegMza3ONY0

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO7EFJnMYM

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENBfmfzlv

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.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dF0O50YD

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUHqtRR8J5

“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.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkz8sP6qzw

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.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjaql0f3V6

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqd2w9ViQd

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.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXerSQd06d
818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXYU5vBBIm
“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.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1PBxPvhqW
818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FTJ6AOW6B
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqLAFYZZc9

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.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtuWwusfJ7

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXvDoXbylT

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufF4HrtLJb

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zq7x9iWRB

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.”818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9opbWFxN

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?818Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8rZYhBcC
