53-Waiting

Daphne swayed back and forth to the music. "I love this song. Reminds me of high school."

Niles cringed. "That's something I'd rather forget."

"I always wished that someone would tell me that he'd been waiting his whole life for me, just like in the song."

Niles rose from the table and sat down beside her on the sofa. "Would it be all right if that someone was a friend? The brother of your boss?"

She gasped in surprise. "What are you saying?"

"I've been waiting for you my whole life, and I mean that. I love you, Daphne Moon."
