I will be allowed the opportunity not just to grow back into myself, but perhaps to blossom to an even greater potential.

I don’t think I will much care for this man; he seems the sort to spit in disdain at his own birthday party.

Instead I take up the desk beside Benjamin, stealing a glance over my left shoulder at William, who certainly doesn’t notice me. The way he continues in this manner makes me even more certain that I will very soon be invading his space in order to make myself be noticed.

I wonder if he’s aware that—or trying to figure out if—I am most certainly flirting with him.

“Because you like it. And because I want to make you truly smile; it would be quite lovely to see, I think.”
