I opened an old book the other day, and a bunch of pictures of an ex-girlfriend fell out. It was pretty awesome, actually.

Prior to Laura, I was involved with a Chinese woman (the one who got me writing again, last November), one with very long hair. For a good year-and-a-half after she was last in my apartment I would find strands of her hair every time I swept or mopped the place.

I suppose what struck me about Laura's inscription (which I hadn't known she had done), was that it suggests her feelings for me were more complicated and perhaps deeper than I, in my post-betrayal pain, had been willing to consider.
