Chapter 37 There Is No Always

• Daniel
• I practically fall backwards. The force of her smile nearly knocks me on my ass while it warms my chest. It's a strange feeling I get anytime she beams and looks at me with her wide, blue eyes, and it's one that's not completely unwelcome. Which is odd. I'm not used to feeling this way, and especially not about a woman.
• Every time she smiles it's like my world brightens, what was once black and while is now painted with vibrant colors. When I'm with her, things taste better, my chest feels lighter, I see the world with a new light, her light. When I am without her, she's all I can think about.
