As Eve drove away, Daniel stood in the parking lot, watching her car disappear around the corner.

A mixture of happiness and frustration churned within him. He had wanted to ask her to dinner, but now she was gone, and he felt that he had missed another opportunity.

With a deep sigh, Daniel ran a hand through his hair, scratching his head in exasperation.

Why was he so indecisive?

He had promised himself he would seize every chance to be with her, yet when it mattered most, his nerves had gotten the best of him.

Daniel understood that Eve wasn't ready for a new relationship. The shadows of her past with Cole still lingered, and he respected that.

Yet, all he wanted was to help her heal, to bring some joy into her life.
