I'm a graduate and his official partner now. Which drew me to meet a few of others that work here at the labs. We spend more time together now, at home, and at the labs working with the accelerator as the day of the activation is getting close, everyone in the building is agitated, including me. But when I look at him, oh, when I do so, all of this, these emotions transform into a greater feeling.

I haven't seen Rathaway since that day, and we haven't talked about anything related to him either, the only time someone mentioned him was to make a joke, I still have doubts about the whole thing, but with Harrison looking lighter than before, I don't have the heart to touch that topic.

- I've never seen you in a dress before - He suddenly said, and I laughed at his realization.

I stopped looking at the screen and gazed at him, he left the cup on the desk and smiled at me - I was a student, not a model - this time he laughed.

-Tomorrow's the big day. you'll need one - I sighed - Just for one day -

- Alright, but I'm not wasting my time going to those "not shallow but shiny" buildings. I'm busy here - I said going back to my analysis, and He started laughing uncontrollably. - What? - 

- You shouldn't resent beautiful things. You're a beautiful thing -

- Am I a thing? - I said raising my eyebrows as he shook his head standing up from his chair.

- You know what I mean - he said walking towards me - You are beautiful. Not just your face, your body, your eyes - he caressed my cheek with his fingers - But your mind. There prevails real beauty - I bit my bottom lip, trying to hide a smile.

And with those words, he convinced me. He sent someone to go and look for a dress for me, the only rules I put were: white and knee length, the rest was up to him.

- I'm sure everyone is excited about it now that you talk to them - I said placing my hands on his chest and gave him a quick kiss before the rest came around.

Everything went marvelous, for a brief moment we felt overjoyed, until something happened. And we heard a loud bang. Ronnie and Cisco headed to shut manually down the accelerator, and I was about to do the same.

- Where do you think you're going, Rosehell? - he said gravelly, gripping my arm.

- To help them - he shook his head.

- You're staying here - 

- I'm going to help them - I tried to free from his grip - I can't just stay here - he closed his eyes and clenched his jaw, he opened his eyes and let me go.
