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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFni9aeO7O

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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0zRXle3V

“It was a lunatic asylum?” he says. “So what is it now?”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTInvrKNgu

“Ha, ha,” I say, leaning against the closest tree to block out the window.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XFvQn0fSg

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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwkHkNjPnI

“I wouldn’t worry about the ghosts,” he says, sitting down in front of me.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixfSSO3V4d

“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.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCWkmrhKb

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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v0HmRAiFP

“What is it?” I gently squeeze his hand.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmLpYZR6lb
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SJ8CvE88
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.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDTXiZMM7U
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtPkaPpKtF
“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.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgLotkPjnO
719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls3tFDolDj
He stands without letting go and helps me to my feet, smiling. “How can I refuse? I’ll show you.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKV1uLOxNn

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.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByS0WQBfal

He leads me unnoticed to a hidden away corner of the garden and gestures to some flowering shrubs.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbPMojdJGf

“Pretty,” I say, stepping toward them and smelling. They don’t smell like much.719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgBouMWaRI

“Camellias,” he says. “I’ve been growing them for you.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp2s0FhGb8

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.”719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaho5funR0f

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?719Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrGHllLuaf
