Two Different Worlds

40: He

September 20

Dearest Miss Jock,

You were at the ice cream shop after training today, but you didn't order ice cream.

You bought a bottle of water.

It made me sad that you felt you had to diet to be pretty or stay in shape or whatever.

I'd love you even if you were so fat you couldn't stand up.

I walked over to the counter, bought a large chocolate sundae, and put it in front of you.

You looked up surprised; I just gave you a nervous half-smile and ran away from there.

My heart had started beating so fast it was about to jump out of my chest.

My hands were clammy.

My head was dizzy.

Miss Jock, do you not know what you do to me?
