A year later the sun smiled and now I’m finally on track he thought. He smiled as he looked at her. All he wanted was to be lost in her eyes, those dark shimmering eyes and be lost forever. There was no hurt now, just a simple smile in those eyes. Oh, how much of hurt he had caused her. Just the thought of how he had betrayed her love made him nauseatically sorry.
