I 'VE MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
Two weeks, maybe three, I 've known this girl Maddy and I 've already fallen for her. Except there 's only one problem, She can 't leave her house, or so I thought. One very late night I heard a soft tapping on my window, tap...tap...tap,tap,tap. It was too irregular to be a tree branch knocking against the window, and too constant to be just a bird passing by.
