The
first time he saw her …
The first time he
saw her, he silently followed her for a long time. She walked along
easily, shifting her long, rather well-proportioned legs. Her thin
leather skirt swung from side to side, barely hiding her shapely
hips. A green blouse tightly covered her beautifully straight back.
All the while, Serge followed her like she was a vision, lacking the
courage to come closer or to back away. He knew that making her
acquaintance was a long shot; she was simply out of his league. How
could he possibly know that she, a complete stranger, would
inexplicably impact his life and be with him forever, whether she was
at his side or not?
