It’s not that I’ve been stalking Brad. Truly, I haven’t. But I caught sight of him last week in nearly this exact same spot, and…fuck. It’s like I was struck on impact. The guy was smiling while doing burpees, of all things, his eyes bright and his enthusiasm infectious even from across the street. And when he tossed his head back, laughing at something his friend was saying? I had the distinct thought that Christ, I’d give anything to hear him laugh for me like that. This guy I didn’t even know.
