Of all the young ladies at the party, and there were quite a few, she stood out the most. It was not in a normal way. She didn't draw attention to herself by dancing on a table or shouting in excitement when a popular song came on. As my eyes passed over the crowd, it was as if a spot light shined down on her, lighting her up and making everyone else seem dim. At the time, I didn't even know her name, but there was something in her smile that was so real that I found myself looking around from time to time hoping to see her again.
She was beautiful, of that there was no doubt. She was taller then most girls, something that helped me pick her out each time my eyes searched for her. Large brown eyes complimented her perfect smile. She would hold her thin arms up over her head as part of an alluring dance when she was taken by the music. I was entranced. The room was crowded and the weather cold outside, so I did not see her most amorous feature until much later, her legs. They could stop a man dead in his tracks, as they would do to me many times.
It took me a year to finally speak to her, but when I did things simply fell into place. The woman I had idolized in my mind turned out to be even more amazing in the flesh. I found myself wanting her more and more, and she felt the same towards me. Finally we realized that we could not live without each other, and it turned out that beautiful girl who caught my eye was meant to be my wife....
