Rating: PG



He fell in love

(truly, deeply, despite himself).

Because, he may one day say, she was: polite. kind. calm. beautiful. there (and you were not, and i was alone, alone, and she was there.)

True, all of it, but:

There was an electric snap in her eyes when she looked at him. Soft mouth in a proper stranger's smile, and there was something fierce and dangerous behind her eyes.

He fell in love with the thought

(no, not really: someplace beyond thought--a feeling twisting inside, outside, all around the cold dark place that was him, alone)

of touching her--flesh of hands and mouth and heart charring at the electric heat she

(he)

called love.
