Summary
There were rumors about Gansey and Ronan, of course, but Adam didn’t put much stock in rumors. He relied on what he could see. What he could hear.
What he saw was a flurry of fleeting moments of casual intimacy—a hand pressed to the small of a back and a whisper in the ear, touches that could have been romantic or platonic, both or neither. Space shared with ease. Eyes drawn to each other more than anyone else.
What he heard were snatches of whispered conversation—as if they were in their own world, and not a lecture hall full of a hundred other people. Every word was laced in hidden meaning and inside references and whole knowledge of the other.
It wasn’t exactly a stretch to imagine that the rumors were true.
Adam thought about that, too. The two of them, together. The picture they would make. Sometimes he was even desperate enough to include himself in the fantasy. He wondered what it would be like to be the subject of their undivided attention. He wondered if such a thing would be survivable.
