wednesday, the most wonderful day of the week. or second wonderful. still, half-way to the weekend!

so, i'm going to tell you a story now. and i'd be intrigued to hear your thoughts on the matter.

once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a girl. this girl was tall and pretty and had a long brown hair that shone in the light like no other. the girl, let's call her emilia. emilia loved to go out at night, enjoy a few drinks, dance, meet with her friends. and then one time, a boy, let's call him mikael, bought her a drink. now, this was a little unconvential, since mikael works at the place where emilia liked to go.
from then on, mikael would buy her drinks every once in a while and make her some new kinds of drinks too, to test them, to see if they were any good. oh and they would talk a little, smile, make funny faces... but nothing more. but emilia was falling for him. and she felt as if he was falling for her too. but nothing happened, no one made a move. emilia was afraid of getting hurt so she did nothing. other boys talked to her and he always seemed a bit mad when they did.. but when mikael did nothing, emilia filed it away to be from her imagination.
then, one time, emilia was feeling frustrated. she felt lonely. she was on so many different dating sites, and nothing was coming out of those. and she told mikael. they had a brief conversation about it, and he said that he'd put her a heart on one of the dating sites.. she got her hopes up again... but nothing happened, again. she didn't understand why he didn't do anything if he had feelings for her. so again she decided to give up hoping.
one beautiful friday, she was out again with her friends, nothing really special about that.. but at the end of the night.. they had a witty banter back and forth and when they left, he winked at her.. she didn't know what to do about it, so she just smiled and filed it away.
emilia doesn't want to hang on to false hope, but she doesn't know what to do... does it seem like there is something? is it in her head?

help her out if you can. shed some light on it. emilia would really appreciate it. random compliments here and there have also apparently taken place.
