When he saw her, something happened…

It was an uncanny sensation. More than a momentary attraction. What it might become, he didn’t know.

He spotted her immediately, standing by the Christmas tree. The lights sent sparkles glinting through her hair. When she saw him, her eyes lit up, too, and she smiled almost as if she had been waiting for him.

Suddenly there seemed to be no one else in the crowded house, no one at the party, just the two of them.

“Hello, Mark. I’m glad you came,” Coryn greeted him.

All around, the party sounds swirled while they talked of many things. Yet Mark had the feeling that there was so much more they had to talk about. He felt that they were on the brink of something happening between them. Something serious. Important.
