Daniel looked Emma dead in the eye and poured out his innermost feelings that he had never said to anyone else.

"I love you Emma Monreau, with all my heart that I'm almost going crazy! I dream about you, my head is full of thoughts about you, my heart hurts when you look at me guardedly like I'm a stranger, I get upset when I see other..." He started to say but stopped.

No matter how daring he was, he didn't dare to tell Emma that he was always jealous whenever he saw her with another man so much so that he organized a slight hiccup at Ash's company that would keep him busy for at least a few weeks.
