It was Christmastime and she was shopping for presents for her sister when she heard him say her name. She looked up and connected her eyes with his so naturally, so through the soul. It hadn’t happened for a while. She didn’t realize when it was happening and it didn’t matter what they were saying it was just that that connection was there. It felt so real. She could look at a hundred faces and never get that connection and here it was right in front of her. Man and woman as they should feel.
Her friend had told her all about him and how good looking he was. She hadn’t really listened, because she never let anyone tell her what was good looking. The guy had to have something different, something special, and something original about him. She couldn’t say what it was; she just knew it when she saw it.
She was not that impressed with him when he introduced her to him. He was decent looking, not the best looking guy she had ever seen but he had something. For her it was never what she saw at first. She had to know a guys heart and soul to figure whether he was good looking or not, because if the truth shined through him for her it all worked out.
And here he was in front of her and the shop seemed to stop. Nothing mattered but the glow between their eyes. She envisioned a place where they could go. It was so healthy for the soul. Classical Christmas music playing, excellent red wine, and dark German furniture, candles, and a lovely spirit all around or a quiet lonely hallway could be enough where the only sounds heard were the romance they have for each other.
