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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqWuczYyqQ

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimU4Q40AOG

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k80QUz87r

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxr8G0e5SO

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnukfe61P2e

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETB1R1nclb

“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.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgflqZZsfGX

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmpLZFSljj

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgWecymPn

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.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPzyn02HY
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQXlpufE2E
“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.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPuFS7CMC2
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAqRoVfFIJ
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfige2aM1Od

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIt9av9Fne

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyNiAZFBh

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZBGAy6tO

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNI6byFQvA

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.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkO5efh8gj

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?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hMEtWqM4a
