Hope works the same way. Everything feels slow and dark without it, like a night spent waiting for the sun to rise. And then suddenly you see her, the brilliant bloom of her smile, the way her eyes come alive as they collide with yours from across the room, and everything changes. The door swings open, showing you the sunshine outside, the hope, and you step right into it, feeling the warmth kissing your skin like the heat of her stare.
