Brief Encounter


Her eyes met his as the subway door slid closed between them.  She had run down the multi-level stairs in an effort to catch the train.  Now with chest heaving from her exertion she watched it accelerate away and enter the tunnel.

A brief look was all she got, but it was enough to impact her psyche.  He was handsome in a rugged, shaggy way, his brown eyes pools of limpid desire.

She felt a yearning to chase after him, a desire to find him.  She shook her head, men like that weren’t interested in a plain girl like her.
