Yuna's eyes filckered with a flash of panic, then she shook her head again. Seemed like that was her go-to
move.
| raised an eyebrow. "If he didn't touch you or kiss you, what makes you think he's in love?"
Her cheeks flushed as she looked down. "He... well, there was one the almost kissed me."
T
"Almost?" | tried to picture Wade's usual, reserved self. Was he drinking?"
Guys get weird when they're tipsy, sometimes mixing up reality with whoever's on their mind.
Yuna didn't shake her head this time. Instead, she nodded slightly. "Yeah, last week he was kinda down and had a
few drinks.
"| asked what was wrong, and he said it'd been a hundred days since his advisor passed.
"He said he missed her... then he looked atand leaned in like he was going to kiss me."
Right-exactly a hundred days since Narelle had passed.
Hearing all this, | realized Wade must've been seeing Narelle in Yuna's place, which made my heart sink
Hearing this, it hit me: Wade must've been seeing Narelle in Yuna's place. My heart sank. Narelle and | had
shared so much in common, but Yuna? She was nothing like her. How could he confuse the two? It had to be the
alcohol.
"So why didn't he go through with it?" | asked, watching her face. "Did you pull away, or did he stop

Yuna's blush deepened. "He stopped himself. Then he apologized."
"And that's why you think he likes you?" | raised an eyebrow. "All those romance , and you still got it this
wrong?"
"It's not just that," she shot back, sounding a little defensive. "It's everything else. He's been so sweet to me,
and everyone at the library thinks we're dating. Sometimes they even tease us, and he never says they're
wrong.
She looked down, hurt flashing across her face. "And sometimes, when he shows up late and sees sother
guy talking to me, he gets all annoyed-like, almost jealous."
Listening to her, | could tell she wasn't making it up. With all the signals Wade was throwing out, it was no
wonder she'd misread things.
It was clear Wade had his own stuff to work through, and I'd have to talk to him about it. But right now, Yuna
needed someone to help her process this mess.
"You mentioned he talked about his advisor, right?" | asked carefully. "Did it ever cross your mind to wonder why
he's still mourning her so much?"
Yuna's brow furrowed, and she hesitated. "Are you saying his advisor was... someone he cared about?"
| was about to nod when she quickly shook her head. No way! How could he be in love with his advisor?

They're usually, you know... older!"
| couldn't help but smile. Classic Yuna, still imagining all academic staff as gray-haired people in tweed jackets.
"KRA has plenty of young, attractive lecturers," | told her, considering if | should tell her the whole story or let
her figure it out slowly.
"You mean Wade's advisor was a young, beautiful woman?" she asked, putting the pieces together.
Seeing her starting to understand, | decided it was best to tell her now-better a little hurt now than a lot more
later.

When | finished, Yuna's eyes were glassy. "Their love story was that beautiful?"
"It was," | said softly. "So even though Narelle's gone, Wade's heart... it's not an open door."
She was quiet, and | was about to say more when the loudspeaker suddenly crackled to life.
