Dear Emerson,

In seventh the teacher assigned a group project between just us two.

I came over your house and we spent all night working on it, until we both passed out.

When I was struggling to draw one of the eyes you placed your hand over mine and guided me through it.

I swear my heart has never beat so fast.

Now I know what butterflies feel like.

-Katrina
