I know that my gesture has taken her by surprise and she continues to look nervous. I look at her and to my surprise, she takes my hand and shakes it with a sweet smile. "Hi, my name is Adele, nice to meet you Charlotte" she says with a smile. "Are you a newcomer too?" she continues. "Yes, are you?" I ask her returning her smile.

Dear Annie, I don't care anymore. Leo just... warms my heart and makes me feel important. And maybe I am just being stupid again by trusting him but I can't help it. He's easy to trust. So, I'm going to stop overthinking it and just let myself be... friends with him, I guess. No more over analyzing or over thinking.
