He looms over me, his jaw clenched. His anger seems to win out over his attempt to shield his

though we haven’t been going out for very long, I really like him. I think we could be really good

together, and we have time to get to know each other, anyway. Things move fast in our world, and we

both want the same things. That’s what really matters.

“Did you say Adam Mitchell?” he finally says, turning to look at me again. His expression has smoothed

a sort of blankness to it. He’s trying to keep me out. Though,
