She had just seen him across the other side of the busy way. She had noticed him instantly. His features, his whole package appealed to her. Her breath hitched almost making her choke .

"Lower your gaze" she said again quietly.

She looked up to find his eyes still on her. He smiled and waved. That simple gesture tugged at her heart but her heart began to hammer loudly into her ears when he walked towards her.

She began to panic.

She was embarrassed.

Though embarrassed she was relieved. She had only gotten herself worked up for nothing.
