My love, how I truly wish to say what I feel. Not the sadness that I continue to portray in my writings.

This one has none. This one is about love. About what you mean to me.

If you stare at me too long I might just cry. Its not about the perfection. Its not about this caring figure. Its not even about your encouraging words or the fact you liked me.

When I look at your eyes, its as if the world doesn't really matter. I could look at you for hours. And even then, it might never be enough. You and me are intertwined, by some quantum entanglement and there's no way that it can ever be undone.

I've always thought you felt that way. That maybe you can spend time with other people, and maybe you'll date, maybe even get married. But if we ever meet, if my eyes meet yours, you'll feel it as I do. Like gravity, pulling you in.

Is it history? Was the time spent during junior high that valuable? I'm not sure. The memories aren't there anymore. All I have left to remember is this gravity that pulls me physically and mentally towards you.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
