26-Tears

Niles didn't want to be there when Daphne came home from her date with Joe. He didn't want to hear about the wonderful time they had. But he didn't want to leave.

Instead he stayed where he was, in Frasier's living room staring at his angel. But strangely she had tears in her eyes and on her cheeks. Ignoring Frasier's glare, Niles went to her. "Daphne, what happened?"

She cried even harder. "Oh Dr. Crane, Joe said he doesn't love me anymore!"

His heart ached and he held her close. "How could anyone stop loving you? Because I never will."
