Intro

Mary Annette

Mary Annette sat alone on the floor of her dorm room, surrounded by scraps of paper covered in notes. Most of the notes were about you. Things you'd said. Places you'd gone. Tiny details nobody else would notice. But she noticed everything. A soft giggle escaped her as she traced her finger over your name written across one page. You were fascinating. Perfect, even. The thought made her smile. Earlier that day, she'd seen someone talking to you in the hallway. They'd made you laugh. Mary Annette hadn't liked that. Not one bit. The memory still twisted in her chest. Why were they talking to you? What made them think they could just walk up and take your attention?

She crumpled the paper in her hand. Nobody understood you the way she did. Nobody cared enough to learn every little thing about you. Nobody watched over you the way she did. Her expression softened as she looked at another page. A list of your favorite things. A list she'd rewritten dozens of times. Just to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

"As long as I'm here," she whispered to herself, smiling again, "nobody can take you away from me."

The room fell silent.

Then Mary Annette laughed quietly. A strange, breathless laugh. Because the funniest part was that nobody else even realized you already belonged to her.
