As Bonnie starts her internship and I’m supposed to study as Kate asked, I try my everything to take my mind off Leverett. I tried to think about it like I promised, but I’m worried I might want him too badly to think clearly. I can’t think of anything that would make me like him less, or anything he’s said or done that might be a deal-breaker for me. I’ve never felt this seen or safe with someone. I know I can be unapologetically myself with him. And the way he kissed me... If I felt his lips just that once and never again... Is it possible to be addicted to another person? Every time I close my eyes, I see his face. I keep thinking his name. Just about every rational thought is chased away by him—his smile, the way his arms felt around me, the things he promised. Try as I might, I keep wondering how his arms will feel when we’re both naked, how his hands will feel, where else his lips might roam. I am utterly and completely obsessed with him.

Part of me feels stupid, like I’m a teenage girl with her first crush. Some of my logic seems to have survived, though, because I remind myself that this is what early relationships are like. Everything’s exciting, and I can’t stop thinking about him. Totally normal. It’s just that it’s been a while since anyone made me feel like this, and— Okay, fine. No one’s ever made me feel quite like this. I’ve been in love before and I’ve been in relationships before, but I’ve never lost my mind to someone like I have to Leverett. At this rate, I worry I’ll pass out the moment he slides a hand between my legs and inside me. Seems like something I’d do. Just the thought alone is almost too much. How am I supposed to cope with the real thing?

I try to blink the thought away and take a deep breath. Then another. I’m lying on my bed with my pretty new tarot cards, but it’s annoyingly hard to focus on them. Kate told me to go through the deck one card at a time, and that’s what I’m trying to do. Some I immediately get a feel for, like The Star and The Lovers—it seems impossible not to understand the latter—but others I struggle with, like Temperance. I’m also surprised by how beautiful Death is. I always thought of it as a negative card, but the one in this deck is full of hope instead. It’s like a comforting satin blanket that tells me that every end is a new beginning, too. I’ve stared at it for two minutes now, taking in every detail, and I think I may be a little in love with it. It’s one of my favourite cards in the whole deck, which I haven’t even seen half of.

That’s my brief reprieve from thinking about Leverett. The closer I get to Wednesday, the harder it becomes.
