Prologue

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

"Will, nice to meet you." She said with a smile extending her hand towards him. Her took her hand shaking it slowly.

"Will?" He frowned. Why would a girl be named Will?

"I used to be a guy." She explained with a completely straight face. His eyes widened in surprise as he tried to think of an appropriate response.

"Oh. Uh, well good for you? At least you're finally yourself..." She noticed he had straightened up and looked kind of worried that he had said the wrong thing. Will felt slightly guilty but couldn't stop herself from laughing. This boy was awfully cute.

Will looked back at him to see a hurt expression on his face.

"Sorry, I was just joking around." She apologised adding a smile to show that she really was joking. "It's actually just short for Willow."

He relaxed at this. "You could have just said 'Hi, I'm Willow'. Or do you like making people feel awkward?"

"Sorry, natural reflex? Make other people feel awkward so they don't notice just how awkward you are? It seems to be working well." By raising her shoulders and hands in a 'what-can-you-do?' gesture she managed to get a small laugh out of him as he shook his head.

"Are you sure you're related to Scott?" He looked just a bit sceptical although, she would be too. Scott and Will were nothing alike. At least Will didn't think they were anything alike.

"Absolutely." Just to enforce it she nodded resolutely. Then added "I think." while grinning at him.

"Anyway, I'm Isaac." He continued after realising he had never gotten the chance to tell her his name.

"Will, nice to meet you." She extended her hand mimicking their earlier introduction.

"You know, I think we've already been over this part." He pointed out with a half smile but shook her hand nonetheless.

"Yeah but this time you don't feel as awkward."
