Rowan
Willow was quiet through most of the rest of lunch. I tried to ask her questions and get her talking, but she was distracted. It wasn’t a surprise, but it bothered me. She was pushed out of so many things and the whole town had turned against her. All because of a crush on a boy who was nice to her when no other boy paid her any attention.
Maybe I was missing something to the story, but I couldn’t see where Willow was the only bad guy. I found myself laying more blame at Ramsey’s feet than Willow’s. He didn’t mean to lead her on, but he also was the adult in the situation. It didn’t excuse what happened after she kissed him, but I couldn’t stop wondering what happened during the years in between.
I paid for our lunches and walked outside with Willow, following her to her car.
