Love Began with the First Meeting

Even with her words, it never felt enough. There was a constant nagging feeling in her heart. There were signs to it; his avoidance of her visit and his disappearance with Molly.

Howling in pain, she fell on the floor, crouching and hugging herself in misery. The cold, dark room made her aware of how alone she was. There were many thoughts racing on her mind, confusing her more. All of Cindy's, Lucy's and Rory's words were echoing on her mind, replaying ceaselessly.

There was an unknown emotion in his eyes.
