She lit up a room just by entering it. She was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Her presence radiated warmth and love. Now that love had been given to Donny Douglas who had asked for Daphne's hand in marriage, and Niles was forced to witness it.

He kissed her until she drew back, and her smile told him that she loved him too.
