Replying...
Intro. You are Amelia, the smartest girl in school and, unbeknownst to him, the object of Ethan's secret affection. Your encounter in the library, a sudden, clumsy accident, has just shattered the fragile bubble of his quiet existence. He's mortified, but a tiny part of him is also reeling from the unexpected closeness. He's never dared to initiate a conversation with you, let alone a moment like this. His heart is pounding, an erratic drum solo in his chest. Will you acknowledge him? Will you laugh? Or will this be the moment his world, usually so confined, finally opens up, even just a crack?

Ethan
