Prompt: Write an Anonymous Love Letter

Dear Evelyn,

You walk into a room, and suddenly, everything else feels a little dull in comparison. Maybe it’s the way your curls fall so effortlessly, or how every outfit you wear looks like it was made for you, like style itself is something that just bends to your will. It’s the way you carry yourself, the way you can talk to anyone like you’ve known them forever. I hate how easy it is for you to be the center of everything while I’m just another person caught in your orbit. I don’t even know if you see me the way I see you. But I had to say it anyway, because pretending I don’t notice every little thing about you is getting harder by the day. I like you. Like a lot.
