She meets him two days after he transfers into the school. New kids are rare in her small, quiet town, but even seeing what he looked like was a difficult task with every single student lining up to talk to him.

He holds out his hand, waiting, and she takes hold of it without a pause of hesitation, thinking, Yeah, I’m sure I know you, too.
