He could hardly bring himself to believe it was really her, it was simply too good to be true. For seventeen years he had pined after this girl – his one true, love. And for ten of those years, he had scoured the internet on a weekly basis – especially Facebook – for any sign of her.  \nBut, to his misery, he had begun to believe that she had dropped off the face of the planet, taking his broken heart with her.  \nNot anymore. They were reunited at last, he could hardly believe his luck. The Gods of love were indeed smiling upon them.  \nHe jumped up from the raggedy three-seater, the upholstery of which was in shades of brown – a mix of fur and corduroy in the pattern of flowers that had been grim enough when he was a kid, but now was threadbare and stained beyond salvation. Mark couldn’t be arsed to take it down the skip though, along with most of his mother ’s belongings that still cluttered the four-bedroomed house.  \nHe was suddenly edgy and anxious. He couldn’t afford to fuck this up – he had waited so long to be reunited with her, he had to make sure he got this right.  \nHe paced the room, muttering obscenities under his breath, before standing before the laptop perched on the brown cushion and staring down at her profile picture on the screen. Christ, she hadn’t changed a bit – if anything, she was even more beautiful than ever, if such a thing were possible. The photo was just a headshot – the only one available to view on her profile – but she looked exactly as she had all those years ago. Her hair was still the same vibrant shade of strawberry-blonde – a mop of natural curls, circa Julia Roberts 1991, cascading down past her shoulders. He gazed longingly at the familiar smattering of freckles over her small, turned-up nose, at her delicate bone structure and small chin, so perfectly off-set by the wide, full mouth.  \nOh, that mouth. The amount of hours – hours that would surely add up to years – he had spent fantasising about that mouth. His heart ached at the familiar sight of that adorable gap in her large front teeth, so intense it was a physical pain. How many times had he thought about those naturally darkpink lips, mouthing the words, I love you, Mark. I want you, Mark. I am yours forever, Mark…  \nThat one kiss they had shared seventeen years ago when they had been eighteen years old was branded on his brain. Every detail of it had taken on a hyper-real quality; the feel of those soft lips, pressed against his, the wet heat of her delicate little tongue, darting against his. Neither had he forgotten the way in which she had smelled faintly of roses and the sweetest powdery icing, like the frosting of the most delicate cupcake.  \nHe wondered if she had kept her figure, if she’d had kids.  \nIf she was married.  \nHis heart twisted into a tight, painful knot in his chest just at the mere thought of it. Her profile told him exactly nothing.  \nOnly one to fix that, he thought.  \nHe began to type…  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTWO WEEKS LATER  \nMark stared at Jane’s profile picture on Facebook. The pc was perched on the middle cushion of the sofa and he sat next to it, just gazing at her beautiful, smiling face.  \nHe was thirsty and he needed to piss, plus, he was hungry and his legs were starting to seize up with just sitting there.  \nHonestly, it was like he hadn’t moved from this sofa for two whole weeks.  \nJ","cbCais7DX9b3k7xQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais7DX9b3k7xQ","pdf",596738,87,"English","en",105,"# Into You and Other Stories of Love Gone Bad\n## Two Weeks Ago\n## Mark’s Message to Jane\n## Jane’s Reply","[{\"question\":\"What triggers the main reconnection in the excerpt?\",\"answer\":\"Mark Johnson messages Jane Fernsby after seeing her again on Facebook after years of searching and hoping.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Mark feel when he reconnects with Jane?\",\"answer\":\"He is anxious and excited, believing “the Gods of love” are finally smiling on him, while also fearing he might “fuck this up.”\"},{\"question\":\"What major life changes has Jane experienced before replying?\",\"answer\":\"Jane moved to Australia years earlier, lost both parents to cancer, had a recent death in her family, and had her divorce finalized last month, leading her to consider a fresh start.\"}]","Into You And Other Stories Of Love Gone Bad -
