Chapter 7: Forty Pages

Ansel slipped out of Torin's bed at five thirty on Wednesday morning.

Torin did not wake.

He lay on his stomach with one arm flung over the spot where Ansel had been.

Ansel stood looking down at him for longer than he should have.

Then he dressed in the dark and walked back to Marsh Hall through the cold with Dane's photograph burning a hole in his pocket.

He had a plan, and he hated the plan.

Say yes.

Buy time.

Find out what Dane really had.

He thought about going to the dean himself.

He thought about Lenny, snoring in the next bed, who would have to hear it.

He thought about the scholarship letter, and the rent notice, and decided he was not ready to throw both away.

At eight, Dane found him in the east stairwell of the dorm.
