Evan had been in love with you for as long as he could remember. Not in a possessive or overwhelming way, but in the soft, enduring kind of love that grows quietly over time. When you were both teenagers, he used to leave wildflowers at your doorstep, or small, thoughtful gifts in your locker—always anonymous. You never knew who your secret admirer was, and Evan never found the courage to tell you.
