Is Alex short? Tall? Does he chew too loud or have some irritating catchphrase? Does he pick his nose in public? Has he had his arms replaced with bionic tentacles? (Note to self: not a deal breaker.) complicated.īecause now that I’m descending a Central California airport escalator in Alex’s general vicinity, watching strangers drift in the opposite direction, endless possibilities duke it out inside my head. But Alex lives in the same town as my dad, and that makes things. If these were the only things we had in common, I wouldn’t be freaking out right now. He’s smart and sweet and funny, and we’ve both just finished our junior year. I mean, we’ve been talking online for months now, so I know things that matter. After all, I don't know what Alex looks like.
