Our eyes met. My heart skipped a beat, a wave of unease washing over me, a mixture of tenderness and indifference. The tension in my brain snapped in an instant, like a sudden spring breeze in winter blowing the last pear blossom from a branch. The gears of fate rolled past my ears, and all the excitement and confusion that had lingered throughout the summer returned with a vengeance the moment I saw you.
Later, all my time was connected to you...
