Chapter 14: The Found

In four quick, long strides i was airborne as Phillip lifted me clean off the floor engulfing me in a bear hug. His deep melodic laughter vibrated from his chest cocooning me. He smelt like sandlewood with a hint of citrus and lavender. I held onto him for dear life as he twirled me around the room his enthusiasm nothing short of infectious. Phillip had the self obsession of a teething toddler. He was the most selfishly caring man I had ever met. His self obsession crossed out the rest of humanities problems off his worry list. He had this insane ability to be ignorant about the most obvious things and yet became obsessed with the things or people who drew his attention.
