The weather was just the perfect bit chilly, a slight nip in the air. This was her favorite season, the most comfortable. Since so many days she was suffering from guilt and anxiety. She could not believe that her heart was capable of such shamefulness. To think about another man when she was so completely loved by James. She thought her heart might break up with remorse. They were seeing each other since four years. All those beautiful moments. She thought she had found her share of heaven. Everything was going as well as it could. And then she met Daniel.
