When Eyes First Meet

D'Ran and Harlee, San Francisco, 2523

-x-x-x-x-

As cliché as it sounds, their eyes meet across the crowded room, her brown doe eyes regarding his. Like magnets, they are drawn to each other, instinctively making their way through the crowd; he wondering who she is; she wondering why he looks so familiar...

When they meet in the middle, the young woman reaches up to brush the pale blond hair out of his eyes but stops herself, suddenly shy. He's a complete and total stranger and it isn't right to invade his personal space, even if she feels safer and more comfortable than she's ever felt before. She drops her hand and gives him a wan smile, as if to say "I'm sorry," then begins to turn away.

The young man doesn't know why, but he feels like this is his only chance; if he doesn't take it, he will never know the dark haired beauty; he just knows he will regret it for the rest of his life. He lightly brushes his fingers against her arm, enjoying the soft warmth of her skin. She turns her head up and loses herself in his clear grey eyes.

"Hello."
