*Sneak peak*There’s the ever-so elusive, dimpled smile. So perfect and pristine.

“But you can never conjure up one of those for me,” I grumble beneath my breath, watching Paisley in conversation with customers. “Every time we cross paths, my smile is met by unknowing eyes.

You can’t even stomach an emotion. ”I should k*ll you, Paisley.

Save myself from this constant torment you’ve got me under. “You ungrateful bit—“ I stop myself from cursing her but I can’t stop my hands from wrapping around the light pole as if I’m str*ngling her, watching her porcelain skin pale.

“I’m sorry, I love you, Paisley. Why can’t you see the care in my eyes? Why don’t I stand out to you? I really should etch a permanent smile on your face like I did for Cooper.

But I won’t, for what kind of man would I be if I hurt the woman I love? Someday, my beauty, someday your eyes will light up when you see me. For now, I shall remain patiently watching.
