There this girl was so radiant and full of happiness that all of James' world just seemed to melt away in that fleeting moment.
"And this is where you say your name"
Erin said with the most adorable giggle.
"Oh I'm James"
"Nice to meet you hopefully you can help me if I get lost in class." she says pointing at the camera "may I"
"Sure" he carefully hands over the camera their hands touching. He could feel her soft hand against hers.

This small moment brightened his day and allowed him to feel close to another person again. Class it self was uneventful but they got to whisper to each other and have a good time. Even with the shining light of Erin next to him James' shattered heart was weary and the sadness was strong inside his heart. For far to long had he felt sadness, that his heart has forgotten the other emotions. James did not realize it yet but Erin had rekindled the fire in his heart. The passion he needed to make life exciting again. It was just a little bit but still there none the less.

Class was over before they knew it and he believed that this was now a parting of ways. Lucky for him she took a little initiative and asked him for a little help around campus. Him being the nice guy that he is helped her with navigating campus but in did not stop there the two spent the whole day together. They talked and laughed and had fun. When James and Erin had to part eventually she gave him her number and left with her usual beaming smile. He was left there with an emptiness a reminder he was missing something but the memory of what had long since faded.
