Eighteen notes, kept close.

1. 01She laughs before the punchline.
2. 02Rain on the window, if she is already home.
3. 03Handwritten notes more than long messages.

6. 06Friends who tell the truth kindly.
7. 07Breakfast for dinner.
8. 08Old photographs with bent corners.
9. 09A plan — and room to abandon it.
10. 10Dancing when the room is almost empty.
11. 11Books she underlines.
12. 12The smell of citrus and clean linen.
13. 13Courage she borrows, then returns with interest.

17. 17A future she can almost see.
18. 18Being eighteen, and not rushing past it.
