The article was called "First Love, First Tears," and it showcased his own diary entries. Liam scrolled through the post. The descriptions of his own crush on Olivia were embarrassing, yet oddly endearing.

He found himself smiling at the recollection of his breathless attempts at conversation, his awkward attempts to get her attention. He could vividly recall the way his heart would pound in his chest when she was near, the way his thoughts would stop working.

He felt an impulse to revisit the past, to find her, just to see if the spark was still there. He was surprised how easy it was to slip back into the memory of her, the way she made him feel. His hands trembled as he closed the page, and the remnants of what he had felt lingered.
