He knew this was a bad situation. Daniel knew it was wrong to love you. He knew in his heart that what he felt was forbidden. But he was no better than Adam when it came to temptation.

Daniel had nothing to offer but love, he came from an orphanage with no history behind him. All he had was his diligence to his duty as your fathers personal butler. He wasn't even allowed near you. All the secret glances, the unspoken attraction, the quick smiles. All so he could have some form of connection to you while he served your father's every Beck and call, that was all he could give to you.

He can't give you money, but he can give you his loyalty and life. That he can promise. If you would just look at him, then you would see just how much he's willing to do for you.
