I Believe

"I was just checking the details."
"That's what a pervert would say."
"I'm not a pervert!"
"A pervert would say that too."
"Oh, for goodness sake-"

Stubborn, fragile, and one to hold a grudge, Heleria Hilaire swore to never step foot in a church again after 'the incident'. However, with her mom's persuasiveness, she found herself in the middle row of Blue Iris Seven-Day Adventist Church. She spots him almost immediately. Unfortunately, their first impressions are, erm, complicated. However, She becomes more and more interested, and starts coming to church every Saturday because of him. He's her silent companion, the comfort she never knew she needed.
Once they bond, she'll never let go.

After all, opposites attract.

Quiet, serious, but kind Damian Laurent, never really found a need for love. His one goal was to protect and preserve, never to fail anyone ever again. He has a heart of gold, but is shattered inside. That was until he met her. The best part of his day. With her sassy remarks, sweet smile, and catlike blue eyes, Damian found himself doing something he's never done before: love. She was the challenge in his eyes, always looking for away to out him. She was the only person allowed to know of his terrors, and he liked it that way. Day after day, he fell deeper and deeper, until it was too hard to resist.

She was the missing needle in his kit, poking and pricking at his soft spots.

His only weakness, and he couldn't be more glad to have one.
