" I sprinted
past the onlookers without a backward glance, taking the stairs two at a time. I shut myself off to
Lissa’s feelings as I walked down her hall. It seemed silly, but I wanted to be surprised. I just wanted
to open my eyes and see her in person, with no warnings as to how she was feeling or what she was
thinking. "
