Matching All the Way

by Veronica Eden

The thought of anything dimming the lively spark I’ve always admired in her makes something tighten in my chest.

“If you’re sure you’re not busy.” “I’m never too busy for you.”

Was she always this much of a temptation? Her laughter and smiles made my chest feel funny, but now whenever she’s around it’s like she’s the sun in the room. And I’m a planet that doesn’t know how to fight the pull of her orbit. She’s all I’m able to look at.

“Of course, Evie. I’m here for you whenever you need me. There’s nothing else I’d rather do than be here right now making sure you feel better.”

“I’ll be everything for you, sweetheart. Every fantasy. Every dream. Whatever you need, I want to be it.”
