"Sugar and Honey?" I watched as she stirred her tea, the light brown color shimmering in the sun matching her eyes.
"Guilty, what can I say I'm a sucker for sweets," Zara gave me the softest smile, a smile as sweet as her tea. One I'd trade the world for.
Honey eyes and a sweet smile, the color to her cheeks as she held the warm tea, smiling at the steam rising from it.
A sweetness I didn't deserve. A sweetness I'd be selfish to want.
But if holding her hands in mine made me selfish, then for fucks sake I'll be the most selfish person in the world.

She asks "I jus--" she cuts me off again. "--What makes you so special as to being the only what that can come out here?" she questions me again. "I didn't--" Once again, I am cut off. "--If you think that you're so special to be the only one here, then why am I also here standing right in front of you smiling while you look dumbfounded?" She smiles in victory.
