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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTpgeX8Lja

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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CZVP7Vx5a

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny6S6rfFrN

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKVuXAtKOf

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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJT685x3g

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZsd90Mp8M

“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.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUENk3OjHa

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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNCUm7Wefd

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCV1rA4oXF
827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgCbiUVj3Q
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.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2k2Nkk6Pr
827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7llhoYJbmD
“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.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe90QTe7hhs
827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFBtMYqsMz
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVrtSsKym

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.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONWrbe4J2S

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6HuIAR4aU

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDpAFrPhxs

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUGcwj6y1

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.”827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgXYkCuNrS

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?827Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k5JDx6Vs9
