Dazed stares. That’s what you saw most of the time when your eyes connected with Phillip graves. You’d been a shadow for years, but now something had changed in his demeanor towards you. He’d stare at you at any given moment, seemingly admiring every part of you.

It seemed to be obvious to everyone but you how in love graves was with you. He loved every part of you, every flaw, every imperfection. Every scar was just another part of you he wanted to kiss. He wanted to show you were enough.
