    Summary

    Isabel had this way of showing up even when she wasn’t there, like in middle school when Josie would start a new workbook, she’d flip through different pages near the end, writing messages to her future self in a lead pencil to forget about and then smile at once she found them.

    Except Josie must have gotten too trigger-happy, using a permanent marker to insert Isabel into almost every aspect of her life. Like old memories folded into the pages of a novel, notes sneaking into a song that create dissonance in the chord. She was now reaping the consequences of her own actions.

    The taste of her first kiss still lingered in her mouth.

    If she tries hard enough, she can convince herself she’s back there.

    Everything is okay. They are in the process of falling in love. Passion and intensity frozen in time.

    Nothing bad has happened yet.

    Post Josabel breakup, Josie is NOT coping well; she keeps imagining Isabel showing up, and maybe manifestation works because eventually Isabel actually does.
