“Excuse me?” Maverick said in a deep growl, and the shadow came to a halt. They looked around and saw him. “I do not believe that she needs any company.”
The person bolted out of the hallway and then out one of the doors. Maverick could breathe a bit better after realizing that he had saved her from probably some more trauma. Now he really didn’t want her to be alone. This was the final straw.
He went over to the door and opened it and saw she was fast asleep, still on the bed. He shut the door behind him and went back to the couch though he thought it was too far away from her room. Whoever that was, knew she was supposed to be there by herself. That bothered him, but he couldn’t tell but generally who the other person was.
He would have to look over the workers her father had there and see if he could see someone who met the description he had. This was not okay to him. It was planne

The first year of college for the two had ended. When Dawn thought he was going to go home and stay with his parents for the summer, he surprised her when he showed up to live in the small apartment housing that was for the workers on the farm. “Your dad hired me.” He said with a shrug. “I guess I get to learn about cows after all from the smartest person in the world.”“I am not the smartest person in the world.” She said as she helped him unpack his car.“You know the owner's daughter can’t be seen helping the lowest farmhand.” He chuckled.“Sure, I can.” She said, “No one even sees me most of the time.”“Dawn.” He said.“Don’t worry, I am not feeling sorry for myself or anything. Just stating a fact. I am good at being invisible.” She said. “So are we still on for the meetings every other Fri

The night pressed on, and Mav stayed by her side. She was nothing but smiles the entire night. A simple birthday cake seemed more than she had ever had before. She was as bright as the moon itself. Throughout the night, she seemed happier than he had ever seen her.“When you're done with babysitting the princess, you should come to hang out with some of us in the woods.” One of the girls whispered into his ear.“I am not babysitting,” Maverick said. “I am here with my friend.”“Sure.” She said as she looked at him. “I mean, if you really want to be stuck with a kid all night. I just thought you would like to come to hang out.”“Well, I don’t,” Maverick said. He scanned the area and saw her starting to yawn. Knowing that she had hadn’t slept well in the past few days because she had been so excited. “Dawn?” he walked up to her and hel

Over the next year, the two often met even though they only had two classes together. She was carrying a course load of three times as many classes as he was. She was serious about the number of degrees she would be working on. He thought there might be four or five by the time she was done adding to her interests.Dawn was as normal as she could be when she was around him. She had sensed there was something that he was keeping from her, but she also didn’t want to hear it if it was what she thought it might be. He was nineteen. She knew that in her bones every time she saw him. She was on borrowed time with him. She expected him to pull back from the friendship that the two had. Though it was odd, he never seemed to think it really was. She just went along with it, knowing sooner or later the one thing she thought was safe was going to leave her in the dust.Knowing him, he would find the perfect woman to go out with,

After two more grueling years, the day he had not looked forward to for a year was now upon them. He looked at her standing before him. “Four years, and you still look the same.” He laughed. “Maybe if you grew some more, you would be taken a little more seriously.”“Maverick, I stopped growing a year ago,” Dawn said as he teased her. “This is the last one for me.”“How you managed to graduate four times already, including two master's degrees, and I still have only one to my name,” Maverick said with a laugh. “It is okay, though. I don’t mind being the dumb one in this relationship.”“Well, I am a certifiable genius.” She said. “Wait, I meant certified.”“You had it right the first time.” He chuckled. “So, are your parents coming?”“They said they had too. Since the press go

The phone's call never stopped. The video chats never stopped. There were text messages to start every day for both of them. Though they both had long hours and the time seemed to fly by. He was still working in Europe and had been there for a year and had come back for a year and a half. Though the time they had spent together was minimal during that time, they had still been close. She was working on her medical degree most of the time and her Ph.D. as well at the same time. No one really understood the power of her brain at this point.Though the schools had tested her at nearly every stage of her growth for her teenage years, they couldn’t get an accurate reading on her. They had to say though she was in the top one percent of IQ in the world. She had a brain that they just wanted to study, though, as she got older, she fought them on all the tests. She was over the fact she was different or

Dawn cried when he left as she watched from the airport parking lot. The plane took off, and she felt that hole in her heart again, knowing that he was going to be gone for over a year this time. It hurt in a way that she didn’t know it could.After she pulled herself together, she focused on her work at the hospital. She was doing more to be done with everything quicker. When he was settled in his new place, the calls and texts were the only things she looked forward to.Time seemed to move on at a grueling pace put soon enough, the day she wanted the most was finally upon her. He couldn’t come home, and she understood that. She had a friend’s wife hold up her phone, so he could watch overseas as she took those steps across the stage to finally be a doctor. When she made it back to get her phone, he was smiling like he had been the day they grad

Dawn woke and knew that it was odd there was nothing from him. She thought maybe it was just because of the day, but she had thought maybe something could come through. It was her eighteenth birthday, after all. A half a world away, but in her heart, it just didn’t seem right.The day's events were her going to her mother's and listening to how they had changed all the decorations for the party to fit Jenny’s wedding more than her and Christian’s party. Dawn didn’t even know if he was coming at all to the party. He didn’t seem like he cared too much for anything that was being done. Dawn didn’t either. Though she knew the reasons she had thought of that her mother had gone all out for the party, she had hoped maybe it was the last-ditch effort to be nice with her. Dawn knew that was a long shot, and the more the day went on, the more she knew she had no hope of that

Maverick led her out to the dance floor. He held her close to him. “So far, how is your birthday?” he asked as he smiled at her.“Well, I just got the best birthday present.” She smiled up at him. He laughed at her response.“I’m not a birthday present.” He said. As he spun her gently as the song played on. Then he brought her close to him and held her there as she stared into his eyes.“You chose the song?” she asked.“After some persuasion.” He replied. “It seemed your mother had a few ideas still.”“I know.” She said with a sigh. She looked around, and people were staring at the pair. The balloons were released, and they were in the middle of it. She laughed at the slightly surprised look on his face. “I think you stole her crowning moment of trying to make sure I knew I wasn’t really a par
