(RORY’S POV) Todd dropped me off at mine really early in the morning. He told me he would spend some time by himself at the river park and then go home after that. We said goodbye, told each other we loved each other, and parted ways. It was just a few minutes to six, and I knew I had to be very fast and careful before Aunt Ryan came out for her jog. I had pleaded with Rosalie the night before to take me to the Daisyland Continental hotel to see Todd and also begged her to cover for me since I wouldn’t be returning for the night. After a two-hundred-dollar bribe to keep Rosalie’s mouth shut and after enduring a lot of teasing from her, she agreed. So she left the key to the backdoor under a flower pot, which helped me sneak into the house and to my room without being seen. Usually, leaving Todd left me in a very happy place, but this morning, I felt sad and very weakened by everything we had spoken about. It was my idea, but it was still very hurtful for me to think of Todd and Le

(TODD’S POV) I felt like a ghost, seated in the background, in the shadows, watching everything. The people who were speaking were Mr. Williams, his wife, and my mum. Dad looked drained but not absent from the meeting. Not like me. I was absent, distant, with Rory where I really wanted to be, until I wasn’t. Mr. Williams pulled me out of my deep, distant thoughts with his intimidating voice. “Todd,” he called, and I turned my head to him, now focusing on his sharp, grey eyes, as intimidating as he sounded. “Yes, sir,” I found myself answering as I adjusted my sitting position. Everyone in the room was looking at me; Mum looked worried and Dad looked sad. I turned back to Mr. Williams just as he started speaking. “This may seem weird to you, almost like it’s an infringement of your rights, but it’s not. In fact, your mother and father are both benefactors of this kind of agreement. And look at what they built.” He said, and a surprising smile flashed on his lips as Maddie, escorte

(RORY’S POV) “I promise, no one is going to suspect what we did moments ago,” he said with the most mischievous look on his face as he led me through the busy halls of school. “Todd!” I warned him with a goofy smile on my face, one I tried to hide. It was the last minute before the bell, and so the halls were really crowded. Everyone was trying to get to their destinations on time. Todd and I, we were in our own bubble; he had an arm protectively around me so no one would bump into me as we walked. No one was even going to. The face of Todd O’Connor was enough to make you freeze in your steps and avoid making contact. “You just wanted to bring that up,” I said. “I was not showing any sign of nervousness.” Todd laughed. A deep, hearty one. And it made my heart flutter and made me want to sigh deeply. “Okay, you got me,” he confessed quickly, and then his face straightened. I frowned at him and was just about to ask him what was going on when someone bumped right into me. I snapp

(TODD’S POV) Aside from Leslie’s earlier rude appearance in the hallway this morning, my day showed no sign of a bad day approaching. I spent the whole day with Rory; she stunned me to my heart. So focused, so serious, so smart. She captured my every attention and I felt fulfilled because I had not had a class with her since we got to high school. It was that which made me go to practice in a lighter mood. I had told myself I wouldn’t go until after my suspension was over, but now I had been forced to end that. I was supposed to be troubled, but I felt alright, because of Rory. The aftereffects of being so close to her today in class, watching her so intent and serious, so beautiful. And then, there were the memories of our intimate time together in the car this morning, of the way her fingers had gripped my hair, her hands had held on to me so tightly. How she fought so hard to control her tone and reactions, but her body betrayed her most times… These really kept me moving throu

(RORY’S POV) My own laughter sounded like a fairy’s. So soft, so sweet, for someone who was sad only minutes ago. “Hey, Beautiful,” he said, grinning as I unlocked the window and he slid it up. The fresh air hit my face, carrying Todd’s scent with it. “Todd! Oh my God!” I said, laughing as I pulled him in gently. “What are you doing here?” I stared at him like I was dreaming, and he stared back at me with the goofiest, guiltiest smile on his face. “I’m sorry, but you left me no choice.” He pouted as he spoke softly. “I was calling and texting and you didn’t answer.” His eyes softened then, and all the humor left. “I was scared that you were mad at me about the picture, and I really just wanted to see how you’re doing….” He looked guilty before he turned around and slid the window down behind him. I bit my inner cheek, feeling guilty too. I was not avoiding him; I had just dropped my phone for a breather. “Yeah,” I said, searching for a quick lie. “I was busy helping Nan
