No One's Gonna Love You Like I Do

I was dying. That was all there was to it. Ever since my memories had come back I had been overwhelmed with this horrible feeling that made my chest tight. William had taken to pushing at my lips which was the first time I realized that I wasn't smiling like used to.

It took Daniel a minute to feel the eyes on the back of his neck. He'd been staring at the bookshelf, trying to come up with some inspiration for something, and he felt her there. It was her, of course. He couldn't imagine anyone who would be looking at him with quite the intensity that he could feel it. He gripped the shelf until his knuckles were right, but she just kept staring at him. She wasn't going away and it wasn't like he was going to be able to flee until he could forget her. Not this time. Not ever, really.

He sucked in a heady breath of air and turned around slowly.

Daniel almost said her name again either to prove that she was really there and not walking away or for lack of anything more intelligent to say. What could he say to make things right?

"I miss you." That was true at the very least.

He may well have just slapped me for as stunned as I was. I could feel my eyes widen and my jaw drop a little and I softened all over. It felt like the gravity of him was pulling me closer and I wanted it to. I wanted it so badly.

But then I huffed.

"Do you?" I asked, desperately trying to sound harsh and not vulnerable.
