dear winter,

you know, not many people have nicknames for me.

to most people, i'm just daniel.

and i like it that way.

there's only one nickname that i have; dani.

mom always used to call me dani.

the only people i would allow to call me that were my family and my close friends.

but no one calls me that anymore.

not since mom died.

since then, i told people not to call me that.

until, of course, today.

jack called me dani.

when i heard the name leave his mouth, everything else fell away. 

jo and some other friends were there with us.

they were all probably expecting me to tell him not to call me that.

honestly, i expected myself to do the same.

but i didn't.

i liked the way it sounded coming from jack's lips.

so i let him.

- dani
