Dianne's POV
It was now mid October time and I still thought about Joe everyday, it scared me how much I had fallen for him in just twenty four or so hours. Growing up, I would always hear things said about how a woman could go weak at the knees at a man's touch, and I had never really believed in that, but that soon changed when I met Joe. He made me feel so powerful and more like a woman that any other man had. He had this god given ability to make me feel like I was worth something, something more than just a girl from Australia, like I was a powerful, beautiful young lady.

"Dianne, that's the second time you've been daydreaming today, anything you would like to tell me?" Karen asked over the phone as I laid on my bed FaceTiming her. Karen knew about the trip to Paris and had helped me through the recent weeks, it had been hard for me as my heart had been filled with so much love and happiness all in such a short space of time.

"I know, Joseph, I know. I bet he's thinking about you too though." she comforts, while I appreciate the encouraging words I can't help but feel like I wasn't good enough for him. He was so full of life and was incredibly fit I must say but also talented, had incredible manners and it blew my mind how we had been brought together in the most unexpected of moments. He was there when I needed him most, and he was probably the only person to see me truly in my darkest place, weak and vulnerable. When I stood in front of him in the airport, contemplating telling him my life story, I had no idea that he would be the one I fell for, I thought he was the one anyway. Part of me says he is and always will be but then why would we be brought apart, and would we ever be brought back together again?

"Maybe, but who knows. How's Kiera?" I asked, Kiera was so adorable and she was like my non biological niece, I had known her since she was born and planned being in her life for as long as she lived, or at least as long as she would let me. Kevin and Karen were the best parents to her and she was the perfect kid, they were a great little family.

"She's great. Kevin has found her this new bed online and I must say, I might have to get it for her early because it's so cute!"

"she's a very lucky girl, I'll have to fly out for the final or something." I suggested, she got excited and beamed.

"Definitely! Alright, gotta teach samba now so I'll see you later."

"Alright, see you later."

After this I put my phone down, I take a look in the mirror and sigh. I wish he was here, with me. In every reflective surface I come across I not only see myself, but I see him with me.

I then make my way into the kitchen, going on my phone and browsing through my instagram, responding to any messages I had received. Most of them were either from people who did burn the floor or my friends out in America on dancing with the stars, we were all very connected in our little ballroom community.

"Dot, pass me the teabags?" Andrew asked, meandering into the kitchen where I was stood. I nodded and got the box before handing it to him, inhaling an awfully familiar scent which I didn't exactly want on my brother, this is all too weird.

"Andrew, please take that aftershave off, this is weird." I say clearly embarrassed, I sigh and he looks at me confused.

"You're wearing the same one as what's his face, please just take it off!" I laugh, he pretends to throw up which makes me laugh even more, leaning back on the kitchen counter.

"Gross, and I will, you've put me off my supper now." He exclaims, mum comes out and asks to why Andrew is making retching noises and I'm laughing my head off.

"This one!" Andrew shouts, laughing and pointing to me, I raise my eyebrows. "Claims that I'm wearing the same aftershave as Brit boy!"

Mum bursts out laughing, I just shake my head.

"His name is Joe, and this is very strange. Can we change the subject please?"
