**ADDIE'S POV**
Was it possible for me to still have missed Nolan even though I was at the Academy with him? And with me spending time with him in his office, usually working, but not always. I guess that it was the openness that I missed. Being with him when I didn't need to hide it from everyone was different than just spending time with him. And that was what I was wanting when I was going out with Nolan today.
Not only that, but I hadn't had the chance to get dressed up for him in a while. OK, yes, I dressed up for the festival, and yes, I spent that time with him, dancing and celebrating like I had last year, but it wasn't the same. That was for the event itself, not for Nolan. I wanted to do something special with him, to spend that time with him while openly being a couple.
