Even when he left for the Falcons, we kept getting drawn back to each other. I'd see him at parties and other events, and as soon as our eyes met there would be an undeniable pull, as if I were a helpless moon being towed toward her home planet, the tides of my heart inevitable rushing toward a shore it had been too long estranged from....
Helpless moon! Home planet! Tides of the heart! I am... sputtering!
It - it sounds like she still fancies him. More than everyone else, even. It's as if she loves him.
