บท 126: All You Need

JAMES

I stepped through the Door and between one step and the next I’d gone into a freaky weird Alice in Wonderland world.

I Remember stepping through the archway into Daniel’s garden, looking for the girl he’s set me up with. The girl I’ll wine and dine - with a heavy emphasis on the wine. Or rather, whiskey. This girl has a thing for the hard stuff.

I don’t see her right away, so I look around, already feeling a little off my game.

And then I see her standing there - cute, a couple years younger than me, an easy mark. Until I see her eyes, see the shy and kind of awkward smile, and I’m struck dumb. I never believed in love at first sight. Never believed it would happen to me. Knew it would never happen to me.

But here is this girl, looking at me with the most stunning blue eyes I’ve ever seen, and something changes inside of me.

There is such a thing as love at first sight.

I know because it’s happening to me.
