John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book randomly off the shelf and took great interest in the notes in the margin (页边空白). The further he read, the more intrigued (着迷) he was by the notes. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful and profound mind. John couldn't help picturing in his mind what kind of people the owner would be.
In front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With extreme delight, he couldn't contain his curiosity and spared a lot of time and effort to locate her address. Eventually and fortunately, all the efforts paid off, He wrote her a letter without any hesitation introducing himself and inviting her to respond.
During the following years the two grew to know each other through the mail, exchanging ideas covering all aspects ranging from classic works to current events, which brightened each other's life handsomely. John once requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. Later they scheduled their first meeting--7: 00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me, "she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel (翻领)."So at 7: 00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.
A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, and she has black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head, her figure long and slim and her eyes amazingly charming blue, which quickened his heartbeat. Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her, with a strong voice yelling at the bottom of his heart but didn't spot the red rose on her lapel. It was just at this moment that he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40, with a bright-colored rose on her coat. The girl was walking quickly away.
