His texts lived in her mind like a constant refrain. She found herself replaying his voice in her head, memorizing every inflection. She bought a new notebook, just to write down her thoughts about him, although she couldn't bring herself to actually *write* them down yet. She was afraid to jinx it.

The very thought of him sent a pleasant shiver down her spine. The future seemed full of possibilities, each one shimmering with promise. He'd said he liked her hair down. She ran her fingers through it, feeling the warmth of the sensation.
