"You have to go," she said. "Before she sees you. You can't be here."
"Okay," I said. "I'll go right now."
I walked towards the door and she said,
"No, go through here."
She opened the window and looked down below.
"Okay, she's not in sight anymore. You can go."
I climbed through the window to jump on the tree when she said,
"Wait."
I looked at her.
"Yeah?"
"Promise you'll come back," she said.
I studied her expression. It was as if she'd never seen a person before. The way she looked at me as if I was the most exciting yet odd thing she'd ever seen.
"Okay," I said then jumped from the window on the tree and climbed down quickly.
LOTTIE has craved another person's touch since she was a little girl. A disorder that makes her allergic to another anyone's touch has kept her locked in her parents' house for years. Now with her family moving she feels even more like her freedom is withering away.
ELI has been bullied his whole life for being different. More than anything he wishes he could fit in for once. But his bullies are only getting worse every year.
When Lottie and her family move to the new town, the town's children all start whispering hearsay about the new girl who no one has seen leave her house since they got there. Eli doesn't pay attention to the rumours much too busy worrying about hiding from his bullies. But when Eli gets forced by them to sneak into the house of the new neighbours and see the new girl for them in exchange for not being bullied anymore, he has no choice but to take the deal.
But the girl inside isn't what he expected to find and somehow he ends up making a promise to her. But once outside he remembers his bullies and decides to tell a lie that seems harmless. But the more he gets to know the girl the more his feelings for her grow. Until he wants nothing more than to keep her safe.
But his bullies didn't forget the lie.
