When Crystal got into the car, the first thing she did was check her phone for any missed messages, and she was shocked to see dozens of texts from Carlos - and to her dismay, the first one said: "Crystal, I still love you, and I miss you very much." Crystal felt like throwing her phone out of the window when she read that, but she managed to stay composed. What is he thinking? - she wondered - Surely, he must know that we are not getting back together!
Crystal closed her eyes for a moment to gather her strength, and when she opened them, she started to read the rest of the messages.
Carlos: "The sun is shining brightly today. I am sitting under a large maple tree, shaded by dappled trees, and thinking of you. I am thinking about the day you walked into the classroom. I looked up. There you were, and in less than a second before we'd even spoken - you'd taken my heart captive."
