Addison's point of view
After what had happened with Tony, I swore myself off promising I wouldn't let anyone in and not give in to trust so easily.

I couldn't let myself get hurt again, and I pushed everyone away, so that my heart would stay safe.

But sitting here, being with Bryce and having a heart to heart, I let myself become vulnerable to him. Whether it hurt me or not because I trusted Bryce.

I know it's weird that I only trust someone I met 3 hours ago, but he gives me this feeling, where I wanna tell him everything about me until there's more to discover and then I'll wanna regret it all based on his reaction.

But, sitting here now, with five minutes of alone time with him, I place my head on Bryce's shoulder, and fall into a sleep.

I am still going to keep my distance, and adjust to Bryce and what he has to offer me, but it will definitely be... different.

Bryce's point of view
I feel her rest her head on my shoulder again, and I can't help but smile. How did I get so lucky to sit with the best girl in the world.

We begin to land, and I go to stretch my arm, and Addison takes my arm and snuggles with it, nuzzling her face onto my shoulder. I am falling for this girl harder and harder.

We are on ground, and passengers begin to get off of the plane. I am so tempted to just stay in this world where I could snuggle with Addison all day, but sadly we must set into reality now and face the fact that we may barely see each other.

But then I got an idea. I shake my arm a little, waking Addison up, as she watches her surroundings then passes a smile to me still looking like a ray of sunshine. I love her.

We get all our stuff and we head off the airplane. I can still tell she is upset about the talk, and I decided to make some jokes, and she laughs at all of them, smiling again.

"There's my favorite ray of sunshine" I say with a smile as Addison rolls her eyes but I can see a peek of a smile spreading across her face.

"So do you have anywhere to go?" I ask as we are walking towards the parking lot, where I left my car.

"Not really. I am figuring it out but it's dinner time and all I know is that I'm starving!" Addison says, rubbing her tummy. I manage to let out a chuckle and I look her in her eyes.

As the sun is setting down, it gives her eyes this amazing shade of a sunset and I can't help but get lost in them.

It feels like a trance, and it's impossible to get out of. After a minute goes by, I snap back into reality and offer to buy her dinner.

She refuses but I push on it, insisting that she get fed. She rolls her eyes as she enters my car. I start the engine and we drive off into the night.
