Reason

Landon

Every cell in my body comes alert when I hear that soft melody of the angel. My heart too starts thumping to the beat of her voice. And that sweet scent now invades the space around. Overwhelming. Overpowering the air itself.

It was her. And she was here. But why?

I bring my hands to my sides, clenching my fists hard when I see another man's arms around her, holding her tight, close to him. And when she gives him that sweet smile, it pricks my heart a little. Maybe a lot more.

It should have been me.

I should be the one to hold her. The only one that gets to hold her. I want her all for myself. I want all her attention, her smile, her love. Selflessly and selfishly.

But when her eyes finally lands on mine, I forget everything about the man. The world itself. No one else matters. Neither the past nor the future. As long as those dreamy brown hues spares me a glance, I don't care about the rest.

All I can see is her. All I breathe is her.

She sits right across me, separated only by the empty void between us. Only it seemed like a solid wall, preventing me from getting any closer to her. Deterring our union, like a barricade created by the tangled thread of destiny.

Then again, I think of all the reasons for her presence here. But the only reason I could think of, the only reason she could be here was because it was her.

Maeve, she was called...

With my lips parted wide, I curse myself internally. What a fool you are, Landon!
