Faint Light

The first time they met, he was wearing a white shirt and sitting obediently on the sofa, sneaking glances at her, so aloof and unapproachable. His eyes were full of curiosity about her. His eyes were what drew her in at first glance: clear, pure, and lively, as gentle as a fawn’s. As time passed, a hint of obsession gradually clouded his warm eyes. Her stubborn heart slowly softened. Like a heart frozen in ice, it gradually thawed in the warmth of the sun, beating with life once more... In time, each became a faint ray of light in the other’s life, pure and precious.
