Not forward (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

aft

coy

(Other definitions for coy that I've seen before include "Affectedly modest or shy" , "reluctant to divulge information" , "Pretending to be shy or bashful" , "not forthcoming" , "Demure, like Marvell's mistress" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com, the New York Times and the L.A. Times Sunday.
