Instead of coming to see me or even wishing me goodnight on the night of my birthday, she goes out with her friends to the local pub. What am I to think of that?

I've made a decision. A part of me thinks I should just keep my distance, but another part of me believes that I need to seize the opportunity while it exists. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to her apartment (which is in another city in another state), and bring her flowers and a book she wanted. I'm going to write her a handwritten letter, maybe even a poem. I'm going to take one of the early trains so I'll have no problems getting back if I need to. And I'm going to take my bags just in case.

Carpe diem, we used to say. And I plan to. Will she feel the same way?
