Chapter 32:

I knock on her window.

She’s lying down.

She get’s up.

I smile.

She doesn’t smile back.

I tell her to let me in.

She does.

I don’t think she wants to.

I come in.

I hold her face.

She blushes.

I pretended not to notice.

I ask if she was okay.

She asks why she wouldn’t be.

I tell her I know.

She doesn’t say anything.

I want her to.
