Who Wrote The Shadow Of Your Smile Novels & Stories

Don't waste any more time. I pressed the shutter. The image of her standing beside Andrew was glaring. I forced myself to hold back the sadness welling up inside me and took shot after shot. After the photos were done, everyone gathered to feast, but Daisy called me into the lounge.

Guess the Silverclaw family really is full of empty shells."

But her bright smile and sweet personality got rid of any negative thoughts that I had. Christine Gyamfi Stanzolio is the Light to my Shadow.

I roared at shadows, at Marco's cautious presence, at the silent, judging walls that seemed to echo with her final words: "The next time you come for me, I won't miss." The cold, calculating Don was gone, replaced by a raw, wounded animal. Marco knew better than to approach me with anything beyond the most essential updates. Sofia... Sofia was nowhere to be found. No doubt with her, sharing a laugh at my expense, celebrating how thoroughly the great Lorenzo Valenti had been humbled.

I was pinned down but, I would fight with everything in me. I reached out to Rudolph through my mind and gave a mental image of everything. I knew now why I felt so connected to him. It had nothing to do with me, yet it felt like it had everything to do with me. I was his eternal soulmate. We were Shadows of the night passing each other, torn apart by death but, meant for each other by fate. Eternal soulmates, yet shadows in the dark. I reached for Rudolph with everything in me. I could almost see him in the field of flowers. He reached for me. I felt myself fading. Edgar must have figured out our connection in my mind cause he screamed.

I lay there, trembling, tasting blood, my body aching, but it was my heart that felt shattered beyond repair. As darkness slowly pulled me under, one thought echoed in my mind: he chose her. I woke up in the hospital; no one was around, but the pain I felt had subsided. ‘How did I get here?’ I asked myself; just then a nurse walked in. “You are awake, Mrs. Adams."

The Creator continued. “I blamed you.” The Shadow’s expression shifted. Confusion replaced anger. “I created you from my fear.” The darkness surrounding the Shadow weakened. “I spent eternity treating you like an enemy.” The Creator smiled sadly. “When all you ever wanted.” Its voice became softer.

“Look.” She followed his gaze: the rising sun cast beams through frost-tinted glass, painting the cabin with soft slants of light. Dust floated like silver motes in that glow—a quiet celebration of new beginnings. He touched the moonstone, said, “That’s us.
