Self consciously,I handed it to him.The boy sat up in bed. “Look,this has never happened to me before,” he said. “You can start by just telling me your name,I reckon,” he told me.Countless questions were residing in my mind.To name one,what did he mean?What had never happened to him before?Was he trying to say that he had never been this close to a girl before?At a brief glance, he had no visible deformities.In fact, when I really saw him,he appeared quite hansome.To me,at least.Or was he trying to say that he had never had a stranger randomly wander into his room before?The second seemed more likely. “So…” he motioned, expecting me to speak. “My name is Essie Miracle,” I stated simply. “I live in Indiana, which is in the United States.” “Then why are you here?” he asked. “Oh, I’m just visiting. I attend the Leaps and Bounds Intertwinement Day Camp and Club for Girls sometimes,” I told him. “Ah. I heard about that,” he nodded. I took another deep breathe. “To be honest, I don’t really know why I’m here.”
