The lights in the auditorium flickered, indicating that the assembly was about to begin, and the bustling audience began to quiet down. By now, practically every seat was -no student at Grayspring Academy wanted to miss this.

I turned to shoot him a sidelong glance. "Yeah. Why?"

Charles merely shrugged in response, causing me to purse my lips. He was always too astute for his own goo**s noticing the slightest shift in my attitude, the smallest twitch in my stony mask. He didn't pry, but he knew that something had happened last night. Audrey. Audrey had happened.

And as much as I didn't want to admit it, that little display was the thing that had kept me up for most of the night. I wouldn't deny it to myself any longer: I wanted her.

But I couldn't have her.

Even though I had momentarily lost my sense of restraint last night and gave in to the urge to touch her and pull her closer, that was as far as it could go.
