Hello, I'm here

During the past couple of days, Colin has really stepped up his efforts to interact with Veronica. John reports that he is quite often trying to get her attention or to touch her. And for the most part, she seems to ignore him.

Today, however, he found the right way to get her to pay attention to him — at that moment at least. He was apparently playing with Veronica’s hair, and it was making her laugh and laugh. I’m sure that made Colin happy. Finally, a reward for all that effort. She finally noticed that Colin is here. 

(Okay, she has been aware of Colin for a long time, and loves to do things like grab his face or pull his hair. But this was noticing him in a fun way, so it’s different.)
