Love is a Confusing Thing

I looked over all the books on the book case in front of me, but I couldn’t find anything that seemed interesting. Or, at least, interesting enough to take my mind off of what had just happened.
I couldn’t believe Joe liked me. Or even… Loved me! I’d talked to him before, between teaching classes and that kind of thing, but I didn’t really know anything about him. And it wasn’t until just when he’d admitted his feelings that I’d realized that I thought he was kind of cute too. It was a strange feeling, because I hadn’t had those kind of thoughts since I broke up with Travis.
I know it’s foolish to dwell on the past too much, and Travis was far in my past, but ever since we broke up, I had never felt the same again.
I tried pushing away all my clustered thoughts as I pulled a random book off the shelf. I turned around, looking for a silent place to sit when I suddenly spotted him.
