Even in places I knew you wouldn 't be in. It was strange how a person I barely knew started making an impact in my daily life. I often found myself smiling whenever I saw that something in the book made you laugh or smile. It made me want to know what was so funny about that book. So every book I saw you with, I went out to buy it. You read a different book every day and I as a slow reader, never could catch up to you. But I still bought every single one nonetheless.

It had never occurred to me that you had seen me. I, like you, had always been invisible. It seemed logically that the two nobodies would have seen each other. But this letter was proof of it. You
