He was ever distant, so mysterious. So reserved.
And yet, she couldn't help but melt when she saw him.
Somewhere, in the musty spaces of her heart, she harbored a strange feeling for him.
Was it love?
Unlikely.
But something about how he spoke, how he looked at her, how his eyes pierced the toughest of people with a glance, made her sink.
The emotion inside was like a fluorescent light; when you first flick it on, it's dark, dim. But it slowly brightens, until the entire room is filled with a warm, white hot glow. It's so gradual, you don't even notice it until it's already taken over.
She knew he was different from her.
She knew it could never be.
But those facts didn't stop her from wanting, craving, yearning.
Hoping.
OOO
A/N: Dark Ace is the 'he', and yes, I'm a craaaazy copy cat. Apologies, Ambrel. :-/
Oh, and one more thing: Amazing Grace's first chapter will be up either tonight, or tomorrow afternoon. Sooooo...
Again with the copying. Ambrel, my friend, you have excellent ideas. It's a "READER CHOOSES THE PLOT" thing. The poll shall rise as soon as the chapter rises, too.
Crystal Lit...OUT.
