Nora and Theo

To everyone else, they were Eleonora and Theodore Reed. To each other, they were Nora and Theo.
Eleonora grew up in a loving household, with a few too many nosey siblings, and a pair of slightly insane, but busy parents. She was never the outgoing type, much rather choosing to curl up in a blanket, reading a good book then go out and hang out with friends.
Theodore was a bit different. He grew up in a slightly different atmosphere, mainly surrounded by his grandpa and his best friend. He wasn't the bad boy type, nor was he the athletic type. Theodore was just Theodore, a slightly awkward boy who had his own moments of weakness.

"Want to know why I call you Nora?" he asks while looking into my slightly curious eyes.
"Sure," I said, because he really was the only one who called me that.
"It's because Nora means light, and you are my light at the end of the day, the only person who keeps me waking up each day. Without you Nora, all I see is darkness."
