"Does Jeremy really like me?" Candace asked her best friend Stacey. "Maybe he just thinks I'm some loser. How am I supposed to know if he actually loves me? Is there some kind of handbook? A manual? I mean, how can I know!"
Stacey rolled her eyes, well used to her best friend's occasional panic attacks. "Of course he likes you. He wouldn't go out with you if he didn't."
"But how do I know? I have to know! I totally have to!" Candace was all set to continue her rant when she was interrupted by a ding from her computer. "You have 1 new email," it said in a cheery voice.
Candace clicked on her email. "It's from Jeremy!" she squealed. "Ooh, I wonder what it says!"
"Why don't you try opening it?" Stacey suggested. Candace opened the email, and read the words inside.
Candace,
I saw this, and thought of you.
'Last night I looked up at the stars and matched each star to a reason I loved you. I was doing fine till I ran out of stars.'
Jeremy
"Now do you know he loves you?" Stacey asked. Candace just nodded, too overwhelmed with happiness to speak.
