Emily handed me another note, and as I read, each line began to fall into place, her insistence gradually taking on a strange, quiet logic.

Her words painted vivid layers of thought I hadn’t noticed before, and slowly, her perspective started to dawn on me.

Emily’s heart shone through her words, closing the distance that had kept us apart.
