Claire

The tears ran uncontrollably down her cheeks, the sobbings rolled in succession over her lips. She had immediately hung up after she heard his question. She couldn't answer that question without that she would collapse.

And if she would collapse, she would never be the old. And she didn't want that. Not again.

Tap, tap, tap...

Startled by the tapping on her window, she jumped out of bed, grabbed something from her desk and walked to the window. Her heart hammered in her chest and her hands were shaking from the sudden adrenaline. She pushed her window open and leaned out to see if someone was standing in her backyard.

The result was that she got a pebble on her forehead, followed by loud coursing. She recognized the voice, and her heart started speeding up again, this time from the nerves. She stood up, quickly pulled on a cardigan and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

'Daniël? What are you doing here, en how do you know where I live?' she said softly.

She leaned further out, but couldn't see him. A moment, she felt a wave of disappointment going through her, but the wave was quickly gone when he appeared in front of her, sitting on a branch of a tree near her window.

A shock went through her by seeing his face. It was better than in her wildest dreams. His hair was black as the night, his eyes as blue as a bright sky and his skin so smooth tanned by the sun.

"I am here because I was worried about you. You just hung up and I knew you weren't comfortable in your own skin. And I found your house by entering on google maps your number."

'Alright then... Come on in. My grandma is already sleeping, so do quietly.' She whispered while he climbed inside and pulled off his shoes.

"And then he just walked into the girls changing room!" He laughed. He smiled his beautiful smile and putted his hand on her knee. He had told her things about his holiday in Portugal, just to cheer her up, and it was nice that it worked.

For now she didn't have to talk to him about it. But it had to happen sometime, Claire already knew that without Daniël saying it. But for now she just enjoyed his presence and his warm cuddles she got every now and then.
