Chapter 20: SHE – Moments
She's sure she'd see him again.
Their encounter isn't a fluke. She feels that she was meant to see Edward. She let him go. He returned to her. He's meant to stay in her life.
She regrets not speaking to him then She wanted to ask him how college is for him. But her nerves sent her emotions in a tailspin. The entire time, standing next to him, she couldn't make her mouth say a word. If it weren't for the smiles they made toward each other, she would've ignored him, like every former classmate does with her. Because he acknowledged her, the silence was actually comfortable.
She decides that this is it. If the encounter she wished for happened, she must prepare for the next one. She's crossing her fingers they'll meet again soon. She makes a promise that she'll let him know how she feels about him. So, for the next couple of days, she writes him a letter. She always writes letters to profess her feelings to her crushes. Each time, the letters led to rejection, though this is the only way she knows how to even say "I like you." She knows she'd be too scared to say out loud what she writes on paper.
She's a girl with countless of words trapped in her head. Saying them aloud is what she can't really do.
When the letter is finished, she seals it in an envelope, as well as a green slip of paper with a poem that hints a warning for him that her letter may overwhelm him. Sealing a letter in an envelope is a first. She used to give her letters directly rather than go through an extra task of putting the single piece of paper in an envelope.
This is what he does to her. He makes her do things that doesn't put what they have at risk.
When her nerves are put aside, her fears fade away.
