Love Began with the First Meeting

Just the other night, he had taken her hand in his and told her that he had been searching for peace of mind. They'd built snowmen because he knew that it would make her happier. Because of the dangerous situation last night, he had asked her to believe that he would never allow anyone to hurt her.

Brian had always been so aloof, proud, and arrogant to her, and that was what she had kept in her mind. But no matter what kind of man he was in her eyes, eventually, it wouldn't even matter. He, just like everyone else, would be on Becky's side and once again, she lost out to that God's favored girl who might be her sister.

She had tried to pursue a life where she could be loved and understood, only to find that she had not only bothered others but also embarrassed herself. Why then should she continue with her stupid dream?
