The man stared at her a little while longer, observing her beautiful face. He wanted to say more but he had no idea how to push the conversation a bit farther than the polite introduction. Here she was again at the same local market. And he was there as well, he had in his cart; dog food, a few Hamburger Helper, and some Ramen noodles. Jimmy Alonso, couldn't believe that they were at the same place again. She didn't call, and he was nervous. He hadn't been with a woman since his late wife. She was in that same isle once again. Does he tell her about another brand of sugar? Maybe share a few tips on which type of sugar he prefers himself? He shook the silly thoughts away and cleared his throat. He pushed his cart over to the isle and took a deep breath. How could he fall for a woman he just met a day ago?
Heather stood staring at the brands, she needed to get some organic food that she had forgotten the other day. She didn't like her son and daughters eating to unhealthy. Plus she had more people in house house than usual. She turned and there he stood. There eyes connecting, she looked at him as he searched internally for something to say. He had no idea why he was suddenly tongue tied, it wasn't like him to react this way. Finally he gathered his thoughts and rubbed the back of his neck.

Heather spoke up first considering the fact that he was clearly too busy staring at her. In a different situation she would have walked away the moment he began to stare. But his gaze was one that she herself found very interesting. His innocent eyes staring at her made her blush like a school girl. It has been a while since someone reacted this way towards her. Or maybe it has been a while since she noticed. Every since she started looking for work that had been her main focus. Not finding new love or hoping for a moment like the one she currently engaged in. It was cute, weird and very unexpected... She hasn't felt this way since — since, Beck's father. And she almost thought of it to be a blessing from him up above. He wanted her to be happy rather he was with her or gone off of this earth.
He was still staring making the encounter grow awkward. Heather stepped away and proceeded to walk away. Before she was able to take anymore than four steps in the direction of the nearest checkout line, Jimmy gently reached for her hand. He just couldn't let her slip away. Never to call, and never see her again,
"Sorry for staring but, I can't help but stare, especially at such a beautiful woman — like you," he said. She smiled but, she couldn't do this, it was to much for her,
