I shot him a smile and spun back around to face my computer screen, unable to process what the hell had just happened. That was when I noticed a small Post-It-note pressed against my Dell monitor. Scribbled across the neon pink sticky was a note from Jesse:

-Jesse

What was I afraid of? I was afraid of everything.

I was afraid of letting people in.

I was afraid of falling.

Reality.
