Lewis was never a man of many words. When we were together, he was often silent, watching me with a soft gaze.
But today, when I couldn't give him any response, he surprised me by speaking more than usual.
I didn't know where he was driving, yet in that moment, a strange calm washed over me. Even if no one else could hear me, even if it felt like the world had left me behind, I still had him.
He was my everything.
"Elena," he said quietly, "you used to be afraid of me. Maybe it was because I didn't smile much. After we started being together, I didn't want to scare you, so I practiced smiling on my own."
"I'll never forget the day you walked into the Hales' cold, lifeless attic, holding your dress. You looked so beautiful, like a little fairy."
