Ellie's POV Clearly, my life had changed, but it still felt like everything was happening way too fast. Allen and I hadn't even discussed the meeting, and he already had a date for it. He seemed so excited, and I didn't want to crush his joy, telling him that I felt like everything was happening a little too fast, when I wasn't even sure that I wanted to do this, to begin with. I stood on the balcony and watched the entire city, taking in the cold breeze and watching the stars. I was doing everything I could to distract my mind. I was caught in my own world and could not notice the passing of time, until I felt a presence right beside me. "Do you have plans to return to the party?" I heard a soft tone and quickly turned around. "Daniel?" I called with an element of surprise.
