**Olivia POV
When my classes were done for the day, I was half expecting Ellis to show up again. He wasn’t outside the university. He wasn’t at my apartment either, and there were no new gifts. I was a little disappointed. Had he given up already?
I really thought Ellis would have put more effort into winning me over and proving himself. He never backed down from a challenge, as far as I could tell.
It wasn’t until the next day at lunch time that he showed up again.
I had made it through my morning classes, obsessively checking my phone to see if he was calling or texting.
He wasn’t.
When I left my last class for the morning, I wanted to get myself a quick snack before studying at the library. I wanted to ensure that my studies weren’t falling behind because of the drama with Carl, Bethany, and especially, Ellis.
