She was as gentle as water. He was as hot as fire. When you add fire to water it evaporates. Dalila was a very kind, imaginative yet reserved girl. In a heart beat she would put others before herself. Then there was Colton. The over confident, inconsistent, careless jerk that could only be catched being the slightest bit of kind in your dreams.
