HE TOOK ME UP ON THE BALCONY
AND WE WATCHED THE WORKERS PUT UP THE CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE
PLAZA, AND I COULD STAND CLOSE TO HIM BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS
COLD. I LAUGHED WHEN HE ASKED ME IF I REALLY WANTED TO GO ON THE
CAROUSEL, BUT I STOPPED AND REALIZED HE WASN'T JOKING. THERE
WAS A LONG SILENCE. NOT THE AWKWARD KIND, BUT THE SORT WHERE YOU
LOCK EYES AND YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH JUST ONE GLANCE. THAT
WAS THE BEST FEELING I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME, BUT MY HEART
HURT JUST THE SAME. I MIGHT NEVER FEEL THIS WAY AGAIN, AND
IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
