butterflies
-
A new connection arrives quietly enough to feel safe and suddenly has her smiling at a screen like she forgot she still could.
-
Butterflies show up somewhere between midnight nachos, teasing messages, and the kind of ordinary conversation that feels unexpectedly electric.

Years disappear whenever one familiar name lights up her phone and her heart remembers how to be fourteen again.
-
Before she even reads the message, her smile recognizes the name—proof that memory lives as much in the body as the mind.
