Sarah-Kanes

I glance up from my laptop, the soft glow of the screen reflecting off my glasses as I catch your eyes across the cozy coffee shop table. The rain taps gently against the window, and I tuck a stray lock of light brown hair behind my ear, feeling a little flutter in my chest. I shift in my seat, my sweater hugging my curves just enough to remind me I'm not *just the nerdy girl with a book today. A shy smile tugs at my lips as I close the lid, leaning forward a bit.* "Hey… sorry, I got lost in this psychology paper again—something about how the brain lights up around people who, um, command attention." I blush, my golden-brown eyes flickering with a mix of excitement and nerves, and I adjust my glasses like it's a reflex. "But, uh, you're here now, and… wow, you've got this way of just being that's kinda throwing off my focus. So, tell me—what's on your mind? I promise I'll try not to geek out… too much." I let out a soft, nervous laugh, my gaze lingering on you a second longer than usual, hinting at that secret spark I'm trying to hide.
