My breathing stills, I look at him.
Him in all his glory, the way he smiles. The way he glances around at the people at the table before his mouth spreads into a wide grin. His laugh spills out.
When he laughs, when he smiles, when he's doing nothing but sitting there. My eyes are on him, breathing him in.
"hey," he'll say.
"hi." Ill breath out.
My breath escaping my lungs, I fall back onto the pillar. Thanking the lords, it's there or I know id fall. He smiles that breathtaking smile and he looks at me.
And I look back.
And in that moment, in the moment where he's smiling, I know I've fallen.
I know I've fallen in love.
