"..Hey."
A soft, familiar voice called out from my left.
I flinched to the sound.
Turning my head, I saw her.
The slight blush on her cheeks. The way her crimson eyes shimmered under the sunlight.
Her fiery crimson hair swayed slightly in the light breeze.
I suddenly found myself short of air, as if the sight of her had sucked the oxygen out of me. My heart raced like a trapped butterfly, my chest tightening with each beat. My eyes widened instinctively, desperate to capture her beauty in a single glance. A heat surged through my entire body, spreading from the tips of my fingers to the very core of my being.
At that moment, nothing else mattered to me. The world blurred into insignificance.
She smiled. It was a soft, almost hesitant curve of her lips. Her gaze flickered downward, avoiding my gaze, as if she was hiding something in her eyes.
'Oh no...' I thought.
It was happening again to me.
