SUMMARY:
You know how, years after, when people tell their story, they recall all of the clues that prove it was “meant to be”? It's like a string of coincidences that only make sense in retrospect.
EXTRACT:
You keep saying you noticed me first. I beg to differ. You knew who I was, because everybody in the castle knew who my sisters and I were. That’s not to say you noticed me.
I noticed you first. I don’t know when, exactly. In fact, I only noticed that I had noticed you when you disappeared. Something in the background of my everyday life had gone missing – it took me a bit to realise it was a person. I was caught by surprise when we didn’t cross paths as I left the Astronomy Tower and headed to my Charms class. When my eyes wandered in the Great Hall and your seat at the Ravenclaw table was empty. When I entered the library on Sunday afternoons to finish my homework and you weren’t in that tiny unlit corner behind the Runes shelves.
