Felix's gaze wandered across the crowded room, his eyes scanning the sea of faces with disinterest. He had attended countless events like this before, and they all started to blend together after a short while.
The music, laughter both fake and real, polite conversations, everything was just too familiar, terribly predictable.
That was when he saw...
Her.
She stood by the window, looking stunning in all ways possible, with her back to the room as she gazed at the skyline. Everything about her, her posture, the way she seemed lost in thought caught Felix's attention.
He just couldn't help but wonder, what must she be thinking about.
It was at that time she turned from the window, and made her way to the exits.
Felix, not wanting to miss the opportunity immediately followed behind and caught up with her just before she reached the exit.
"Hi, I'm Felix", he introduced his voice low and smooth, as he reached her side.
"I couldn't help but notice you from across the room."
She turned to him, her eyes wide and startled, flabbergasted as she met his gaze. Their hearts skipping a beat almost simultaneously.
After barely regaining her composure, she replied, her voice barely above a whisper, "I'm Aurora".
Then the world around them paused or so it seemed.
They stood there for a moment, locked in a gaze that seemed to stretch for an eternity. And Felix felt a jolt of electricity run through his entire being awestruck.
Aurora, as well, seemed entranced. Her lips parted as if she were to speak, but not a word left her mouth.
It was as if she was drowning into Felix's gaze, like she was being pulled by electric current. And there she fully believed that truly love at first sight existed.
Suddenly she blinked, bringing them out of their trance.
Embarrassed, she immediately looked away, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Sorry, I got lost there for a while."
" Well I guess the feeling is mutual, he laughed"
"Umm, since you're Aurora, do you mind me calling you Rora."
"Not to impose or anything, I mean we just met"
Of course not, she answered. Want to get our of here? She asked her eyes sparkling with mischief.
With his grin matching hers, he nodded and they walked out together.
