Chapter One
There was a moment.

One of those moments that arrives without warning and stays without asking. She was just there. And something about that felt different from everything else.

It did not make sense then. It still does not. But some things do not need to.

Chapter Two

knew in five seconds.

if she would find this sweet

All of this. And she is still the first thing on his mind.
