Summer gives up on Stanley. First he’s her friend, then he wants to be a brother, then he loves her, then he won’t touch her … it’s too confusing. Even trying to use her powers on him doesn’t help. The whole thing just leaves her in tears and despair.
She writes him a short, simple note.
Dear Stanley,
I think I’ve fallen in love with you. I didn’t mean to. I don’t think you wanted me to, but I don’t know how to help it. When you’re kind, when you look at me with those blue, blue eyes, it’s irresistible. But I don’t think you love me. I can’t figure out what you want.
So I’m going away. Forever. By the time you get this note, it should be too late to stop me. I’m sorry. I do love you.
yours, Summer
