Tuesday morning, Elliot remembered what he had told Daniel the day before almost as soon as he woke up.I think I might like Riley.When he had finally said it out loud, part of him had expected something to change the next day. Maybe he would start overthinking every message again, or get awkward around her the way he had at the arcade.But in reality, he ate breakfast, took Maple for a walk, and got ready for university without anything feeling different.Which, when he thought about it, made sense.“I’m the only one who figured out one new thing.”Elliot said it while putting on his shoes by the front door.Maple sniffed the toe of one of them.“I’m wearing those today, so don’t sit on them.”◇About an hour after Elliot arrived on campus and finished his first class, his phone buzzed.Riley.Professor, I sent yesterday’s version to the staff＼(^o^)／Elliot smiled at the sc
