His hair was dripping into his eyes and he was smiling at me. I remember thinking that I had never realized he had only one dimple, on his left cheek. I never ever wanted that dimple to disappear. Even if it cost me everything, I wanted to spend the rest of my life making Daniel smile.
In the end, that's exactly what it did. It cost me everything.
