And behind all the tears, I could still smile.

He called me today.

But he has wretched timing.

I had just promised Gracie I'd go for a walk with her, and then the phone rang. So I answer it, and I hear an unfamiliar voice on the other end. A deep voice, kind of like Roy's but... not that deep. Hah. But I caught on pretty quickly to who it was, and at first when I told Gracie, she was all, "awwwww," but then she started to get impatient because I was supposed to go for a walk with her and such. I won't bore you with the details, but she overpowered me and I was forced to ask Todd to call back in two hours.

Then, I did go for that walk, but by myself. And, pansy that I am, I cried.

I dunno, I felt like Gracie couldn't understand how important that call was to me, and she couldn't just be happy for me. Maybe that's a dumb reason to cry, but I've had a hectic week. I needed to let it out eventually.

And behind all the tears, I could still smile. Not a fake smile, a real one. I kept recalling little things Todd said to me in the few minutes we actually talked.

He can cheer me up when I'm sad without even being there??!

Damn, is he good or what? XD

So later, Gracie and I had talked it out and all, and Todd called back. I sat on my porch past midnight talking to him, and it was a blast.

Well, I think I am too tired to really gush about it, but in short...

Todd is the best thing to happen to me all summer.
