From The Romeo and Juliet Code I barely heard them. I was watching that letter halfway under the door. And then just as I was about to turn round and go downstairs, the letter moved. Someone pulled it under the door and picked it up. My heart started racing and thumping and spinning, carrying on inside me like a tiny bird in a new cage. I was scared and nervous and pleased all at once. It was a nice feeling to realize that I had run a test and it had worked. I had proved that Derek existed. He was in there. It made me think that I can be a clever girl, even though I can't do long division. Excerpted from The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
