““A minute ago you told me that you thought I was cute.” “Yeah,” Leo said. “I mean, I do think that. But you’re not my girlfriend. You’re my person.” I knew right away what he meant. I thought he was cute and he thought I was cute but it was different than it was when people have crushes. With Leo I’d fallen into another kind of like. I couldn’t wait to tell him stuff and I loved hearing him laugh at my jokes and I loved laughing at his jokes. He made me feel like I had a spot in the world. It felt as if Leo and I could like each other all our lives. So I hugged him. He was my person too.””
