Gracie hugged me tightly, “I knew you could do it!”
I don’t say this to her because it’s cheesy as hell, but I pretty much fall in love with her every day. Every little thing she does, simple things when she is not even aware I am watching her, is enchanting to me. She doesn’t think so, but she is absolutely gorgeous, and every guy’s dream. A couple of guys from my class have told me that a girl such as Gracie demands courage and respect. To put it crudely, Gracie is perceived as marriage material: a girl they want to have but not to hurt, a girl for later. This means she is mostly left alone — thank God — while they have all the fun with the likes of Daisy. If only they knew how sexy a loved and cared for woman is, they wouldn’t entertain all the ones we don’t even remember the names
