I've decided myself to go to see my therapist more. It's good to talk to someone about everything. He said the way I was behaving was normal.

Afterwards I went to the book store. When I walked in I saw the girl with the blue hair sitting by a window. She was absorbed in a book and had a small pot of tea. I felt bad for throwing out her number. She was just trying to be nice.

I ordered some coffee and looked for a book titled 'to kill a mockingbird'. It was another one you were always reading. I asked Bonnie (the girl with the blue hair) if I could sit with her.
She said yes. She asked why I hadn't called, in a joking sort of way. I lied and said I lost her number. I mean, I wasn't going to say I threw it away.
I smiled timidly and sat down. I told her about you. She was a good listener. I told her I didn't read a lot but liked the store and came since it was your favourite. She said she thought we sounded like a cute couple.

I understand why you like reading so much. It's a great escape. You can leave reality for a little while and 'live' in a completely different world.
