(Disclaimer: I do not own The Covenant or its characters...sadly. There will be more to this.)
Pogue Perry was beautiful. Pogue was beautiful in a way that no human had any right to be. Looking at him was almost painful, but it was just as hard to tear your eyes away once the rebel caught your glance. Infectious was the only word that could describe the grin that would split his lips. Fighting not to return his smile was like trying not to draw another breath. Even when your thoughts were caught up in a whirlwind, and you'd rather disappear than have to deal with another human being, you couldn't help but return his look.
It doesn't mean anything, just that he saw you crossing the room. You're afraid because when your eyes locked, you couldn't pull your gaze away, not until something else stole his attention. You guess Kate finally decided to show up.
It doesn't matter. You have an essay in physics due, and questions that you're afraid to ask yourself.
Mostly, because you already know the answers.
