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.<\/p>\n

Dear Stanley,<\/em>
\u00a0 \u00a0 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.<\/em>
