The Art of Catching Feelings

by Alicia Thompson

“I just want someone to know me,” Daphne said. “To love me for who I am but to also push me to be who I want to be.”

“I do want you,” he said. “I think I’ve wanted you from the first moment I saw you.”

I do love you, Daphne. I fell in love with you twice—first with your words and your kindness and the way talking to you always felt like the best surprise and the greatest comfort all at the same time. Then I fell in love with you—with your laugh and your generosity and the way you make everything else brighter. You’re the book I want to reread. For the rest of my life.”
