That night she stayed awake, lying in bed, thinking about him. Sora was unable to get her thoughts away from the subject of her love life. Still remembering the warm dark eyes every gorgeous men should have. A man like him was happy in his skin who manage to always looked relaxed no matter what situation he was in. The feelings still lingers there afterall this time. She forced and driven back repeatedly. He pushed her away and said mean words that still reverberated through her life of misery these past few years. It hadn't helped nor given her a reason to stop loving him.
