The most popular entry was that post, which compiled all her effort in pursuing Emmett in great detail, even putting out the content of her love letters. From a distance, Isla saw a crowd gathering in front of the university's bulletin board, which was full of the love letters she had written. They were all laughing and commenting on the love letters. Someone commented, "What does she mean by 'I'm lost in your eyes'? That's so cheesy!" Another said, "All 99 love letters were written in every possible way. How scary are those lovestruck fools!"

"Look closer. At the ink." Aria studies the signature under the glass. Her breath catches. "The color," she whispers. "It's slightly different from the rest of the document." "Very good." I feel like a teacher watching a prize student solve a complex problem. "The document is dated six months ago. But that ink? It's fresh. Three, maybe four days old at most." "How can you tell?"
