Admiratio by Lololova reviews
‹‹ "Kate?" his voice is hesitant and he looks a bit pale. "Is… is it really you?" Kate looks down into the papers, avoiding his eyes. Those blue eyes. She can't help but wonder if they still look like the ocean. She thinks about lying, saying it isn't her, that she doesn't know what he's talking about, that she's never met him in her entire life. But she knows it won't work.››
