“Don’t worry,” whispered Erik, looking down at Marissa. “I think I’m already falling in love. He’s such an amazing guy.”
“I know,” said Marissa. “He’s always been amazing.”
“What are you two talking about?” Ryan interrupted.
“You,” said Erik, smiling.
“Yep,” said Marissa. “We’re just wrapping up our first meeting of the Ryan Zwick fan club.” And with that, she hugged Erik, then hugged Ryan, and tilting her beret back into place, she grabbed her book and her bag, then waved.
“Catch you later! Be good!” she cried, and then walked back toward campus.
