💝 A Week of Valentines, Day 2
🎒 The Desk is Mine
This Week Only
(February 9-14, 2025)
I’m releasing Part One of every Crush in the Chronicles out so far, one each day of the week, free! (Including journal prompts and playlists, which are usually a paid subscriber feature, just for this week.)
I hope you enjoy these little pieces of my heart as we move through the second week of February.
Today, I share The Desk is Mine, the second crush in the Chronicles, originally published in November 2023.
Have a great Monday, and don’t get into your head too much…

Blaine sat behind me in Spanish class—not by choice, but by the alphabetical fate of our surnames. My first year at the school, it likely took me months to warm up and speak to anyone comfortably, not just him. Despite having moved at a rate of a different school every year, it was not any easier to start over again each time my dad was stationed at a new base. My MO was to keep my head down, be quiet, and observe everyone else. This was to scope out who would be safe to make eye contact with and possibly speak to one day. Naturally shy and having had past experiences with kids that said and did mean things to me, I never wanted to open myself up to potential bullies.
See you tomorrow. 💋
