“Elias, do you really like me?” I gently squeezed her hand.

“H-How could you even ask that? Of course I like you, I like you more
than you know. I-” That’s when it hit me, I didn’t just like Annnalise, I… loved her.

“You what Elias?”

“I- I- I love you Annalise. With all my heart, with all my breath, I love you
with everything I am.” She smiled that smile that always made me feel like I was looking at
an angel, my angel. Her smile, I would do anything to see her smile, I loved her smile. I’m
glad the day I finally got up the nerve to ask her out and ended up embarrassing myself she
smiled.
