Me Before You

Anna turned back, Daniel’s face was full of inquiry. She looked at him and smile, "You have woken up. I couldn’t sleep well and
I’m a little hungry, so I came to the kitchen to eat something."
Anna didn’t sleep well, last night. She had a nightmare in which she saw that her mother had come to her house and took her
back to their home. She also saw that Taylor’s family also let her go because of her mother’s behavior.
She felt panicked and woke up early. She thought that it would be best to use this time to making breakfast. Sir also wouldn’t
have to wait for breakfast after getting up.
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna. The morning sunshine had been sprinkled on her face and made her look more vivid and bright.
Anna put the food on the table and said to Daniel Taylor, "Sir, would you like to eat? By the way, you haven’t washed your face
yet. Wait for a second... "
Anna said and went to the bathroom to bring a wet towel. She twisted the towel in hot water and handed it to him.
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna, he didn’t take the towel that she handed over and directly held her hand.
Anna was stunned for a while. She looked at Daniel Taylor and smiled, "I am just helping you washing the face. Why do you hold
my hand?"
"Aren’t there already many people to do all these things?" He didn’t leave her hand and asked.
Anna’s hands were very thin and long but her palm was a bit thick and whenever Daniel held her hand he felt a unique kind of
softness.
"I get up early and have nothing to do." Anna said, "It’s good to do some work, I don’t want to stay free for the whole day and I
don’t think it’s too good to leave everything to servants."
Anna always wanted to do things by herself. She didn’t want to rely on others and didn’t want to live a life on the favors of others.
Living a life on Daniel’s house with so much comfort and no work made her heart uneasy. She hadn’t even relied on her own
parents then how could she convince herself to rely on Daniel.
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna and noticed that there was a kind of calmness and maturity in her face that didn’t belong to most of
the people of her age. Even though Taylor’s family loved her a lot, everyone doted on her but she didn’t forget her own rules and
still insisted to work.

She was a little insecure!
After breakfast, they went to Taylor’s house.
Anna’s mind had an idea about the attitude of Daniel Taylor’s parents towards her i.e. - disgust, dislike, indifference, hatred.
But when she and Daniel Taylor entered the house, everything was the same as before.
"See, Anna is here." Aunt Lisa smiled.
They knew that Anna and Daniel will come here that’s why today Aunt Lisa didn’t go to their apartment to cook for Daniel and
Anna.
Daniel’s parents were sitting on the sofa. They were discussing something. When they heard Aunt Lisa's words, they looked up
at Anna and smiled, "come one, sit here!"
Their eyes were very friendly as always, and there were not blaming Anna. Anna’s heart, which was hanging by the rope all
night, suddenly relieved.
After eating, Anna went to the backyard to take fresh air.
There she saw John Peter.
After the last time, when he went to drop Claire, Anna didn’t see him. He was having a new hair cut but still looked handsome.
Anna looked at him and suddenly her mind had a thought that how Daniel used to look like this when he was his age, he must be
handsome.
Clean, Pure, with an indescribable temperament.
Like John, after all, he was the school’s most handsome boy.
Anna saw John coming towards her and immediately raised her head to pretend that she was watching the scenery not him.
John Peter came to her and stopped. "What are you doing here on such a sunny day?"
"..." Anna took a look at him and felt amazed. From the day she came here, she rarely heard him talking to her so calmly. Most of
the time, he just wanted to fight with her.

"Because I like it," Anna replied.
