The Way He Looks at Her
She noticed his eyes before she noticed him.
The way they followed her across a crowded room.
The way he looked away whenever she caught him staring.
The way his expression changed whenever someone else made her laugh.
She didn't know his name.
He didn't know her story.
Yet somehow, he looked at her as though he knew something she didn't.
Their first conversation was nothing special.
Their second wasn't either.
But somewhere between accidental glances, late-night conversations, arguments they didn't mean to have, and silences that said too much...
she began to wonder if maybe some people don't enter your life by accident.
Maybe they're already carrying a story you haven't learned yet.
And maybe sometimes...
the eyes tell the truth long before the heart is brave enough to.
