It was on his senior year in college when he gazed upon her. Standing outside the gates of his school that warm day of June was a beautiful, young lady. He liked her right there and then. That was a gaze he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Who is this lady?" James asked himself. "Is she my ticket out of the single life? If so, the here I go! I will leave the life of being single behind and move forward!". He was there beside her, smiling and all. But he just froze. Not a single word came out of him. Instead of talking to her, he just walked away as if nothing happened. All throughout the weekend, he kept thinking about her. Her beauty and whether or not he'll see her again.
To his delight, he found out that she is actually a student in his school. It took one more week before he finally met her. They were introduced to each other by a common friend. Her name is Michelle Herzfeld. A first year Engineering student. It was the 24th day of June when they met. A storm was coming. It was a simple meeting. A simple exchange of pleasantries. And that was it.
At the back of his mind, James was torturing himself for the simple exchange of pleasantries that just happened.
