"As soon as you smiled at me, my fear whisked away like a bunch of fruit-flies caught in a heavy gust of wind. Excitement rushed through my veins. Happiness flared in your eyes and for the first time in a while it began to in mine too. Even if the world around me started collapsing, my heart would not get crushed as long as I was looking at you."
