From A Distance, But Close Enough
*
He knows it's not going to work. He knows it as surely as he's standing there, her drink in his hand, watching.
Watching her.
Watching the tilt of her head, the soft sweep of her hair as she leans down towards him, anxious to hear every word.
Seeing the light of her smile as she catches his dry joke; her eyes wandering to his beard-obscured half-smile; the dip of her knees as she comfortably adjusts. It's a second skin.
Sure as eggs is eggs, he knows it's not going to work. Not when he's seeing that look in his eyes.
The End.
