Jotting down mind wanderings is priority:

 · Sucking on a frozen cube of cream soda
 · Citrus and honey salts, I soaked with the window open and two candles lit. My body feels like Autumn
 · I appreciated smells greater when I was seventeen, I touch more now
 · Last summer, I found myself sitting beside a boy I hadn't seen in over ten years. We had a romance when we were in primary school. I feared seeing him again when I was younger because he had known me when I was most vulnerable.

My vision was blurry and I looked over to see him watching me. My memory is mostly of his mouth. I told him that he has petite teeth. He told me, "I've never known anyone as great as you." I put my head on his shoulder. When standing, I saw that he was barely to my eyes - I didn't mind.

He once told another girl in our lives that he liked her more than me because she looked like Cinderella for her blonde locks, and I was merely Belle. I scoffed at him and had him love me by putting our pillow cushions beside each other when watching films in the sitting room. My mum said that as a child, it was only to I that he was kind. He had a sarcastic air with the others.
 · My return to the country house ignited a feeling of satisfying remoteness
 · An ivi is a Tahitian chestnut tree
 · My childhood friend, Chelsea, often had me promenade to entrance boys with her during summer nights in town squares, parks, or boardwalk lengths. It amused her that I would change my path in an abrupt turn once walking in a certain direction became dull. I remember looking at her strangely when she told me this. The only boy I ever found attractive on those excursions was a character that ignored girls and fought his friends at school. I am attracted to tempers.
