Dont pretend, Bianca, he said. Youre smarter than that, and so am I. I finally figured out what you meant when you left. You said you were like Hester. I get it now. The first time you came to my house, when we wrote that paper, you said Hester was trying to escape. But everything caught up with Hester in the end, didnt it? Well, something finally caught up with you, but youre just running away again. Only, he-Wesley pointed to my bedroom door-is your escape this time. He took a step toward me, forcing me to crane my neck even more to see his face. Admit it, Duffy.Admit what?That youre running away from me, he said. You realized youre in love with me and you bailed because it scared the shit out of you.
