And thinking back now, he had killer bone structure-a strong chin and elegantly masculine cheekbones, especially for an 11-year-old. In sixth grade, when we both developed a crush on Ben Russell, our secret code name for him was “Funny Monkey.” Ben had the most beautiful brown eyes and perfect wavy brown hair. Since the first night she slept over at my house in kindergarten, we’ve held Funny Monkey up as the love of both of our lives. Funny Monkey is this stuffed chimpanzee of mine that Julie always adored. She sighs and looks intently at her tiny espresso cup. “So, are you like in love with Jake still?” I ask her over a coffee on Franklin Street. The one day when Mom and Dad wanted to ask her how she’s doing at Brown, she made them come out to the driveway and stayed in the car while she answered their questions.
