Thunder rumbled. My heart beat faster. I turned away from Evernight for the last time and looked back at the flower as it trembled upon its branch. A single petal was torn away by the wind. Pushing my hands through the thorns, I felt lashes of pain across my skin, but i kept going determined. But when my fingertip touched the flower, it instantly darkened, withering and drying as each petal turned black.
Claudia GrayI didnโt tell him. He found out. Basically, he caught me coming in after the last time you and I saw each other. But he wonโt give us away, Lucas. Heโs even willing to help us see each other, as long as we help him with Charity.โ โWhat, like, a fund-raiser or something?โ Iโd forgotten he didnโt know her name. โThe vampire girl in Amherst.โ โWaitโCharity? Thatโs her name? You were able to figure out who she is.โ He smiled so proudly that all the tension of the moment instantly melted. โI fell in love with a genius.
Claudia GrayYouโre going to tell me that last night shouldnโt have happened.โ No. Iโm glad it happened. For too long, Iโve been telling myself that I could spend all this time with yo and flirt with you and not have it mean anything. It does mean something. You mean something to me. But Iโm not in love with you.
