This new girl showed up in my ceramics class and made my brain stutter. This is unusual: my mind does a great many things in the course of a day, but generally, slowing down to a complete halt isn't one of them. But she has some freckles and nice hair and she glows on the inside somehow, and I had a hard time not looking at her.

I wish I could say I wanted to wait a bit before asking her to coffee, but honestly, I just wussed out. I'll ask her next week, if she doesn't get married in the interim.
