"So, you said you're from Italy?" Will started up again.

We kept walking. I nodded, "Yeah, Venice. I was really little when we moved, though, so I don't remember much of it."

"I've never been outside the country," Will admitted, "but my birth mom is in Texas."

Birth mom? I think. Does that mean he's adopted? Of course, I didn't ask.

"That's cool," I simply reply.

After a moment, I realized I hadn't made eye contact with him since the volleyball hit me. I glanced up at him, and he was waiting for it like a puppy waiting for treats. He smiled and looked at me with eyes that made me feel at home.

I couldn't stand it.

It felt so good but it scared me so much. I wasn't ready to love someone just to lose them, and this is my last heart. What happens if this doesn't work out? I lose everything. I lose any shot at being in love.

Because Percy left me.

Reyna discarded me.

And Will... Will is gonna hate me for being so uncertain around him, when he looks to already believe we're soulmates.

I'm not ready.
