Then for the first time in forever he looked at me. He did not just glanced, no he looked at me, like I was a human being. My heart stopped, I did not know what to feel. My throat was dry and my lips short of words. I could not bring myself to say as much as an ugff. I was under his spell. My brain was saying answer him you dimwit but my voice betrayed me. My confidence all but melted Away. What's this, this must be what love feels like. I'm sure of it.
