Avery's POV:
Now that the trees are no longer sheltering us, I can see his serious face. “We can’t continue spending time together. You can come to the clearing, but if I see you there, I’m turning back,” he says.“Why?”“If you were my girlfriend, you wouldn’t be spending time with another guy, and I already told you I’m not gonna be that other guy.”It’s bold and heightens my nerves, but I can’t resist tucking a strand of his hair behind his ear like he so often does. “Maybe I need to be single then because I’m finding I like spending time with you.”He briefly closes his eyes, but in a beat, he’s wrapping a hand around my wrist to lower it, causing my fingers to slip from his hair. “I can’t get close to you, and don’t bother asking why because I can’t tell you. Good night, Avery.”
