Nate Archibald was the most beautiful man I had ever met. He was considerably taller than I was, meaning I had to tilt my head backwards just to get even a glimpse of his perfect face. His sapphire eyes glittered in the low light of the gloaming and suddenly he was all I could see. All of my worries simply melted away with one short glance.

"Nothing," I said, shaking my head emphatically. "Not now that you're here."

I couldn't look away from him, so dazzled was I by his presence alone. I lifted my hands as though to hug him, but then thought better of it, chagrined by my own surprising forwardness.

"Is it alright if I...?" I asked, staring at him hopefully.
