A/N – So this is my second story. I noticed that they aren't many Hawkes based love stories so I decided to give him one. This is just the prologue and the other chapters will be longer and in third person. HAPPY READING!!

Love. What is it exactly? A strong positive emotion of regard and affection. Or deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Well, what ever it is, I never really knew.
I guess I always pictured myself falling in love, but I never dwelled on the fantasy. Maybe it's because I'm a guy. Or maybe it's because I never really knew what I wanted it to be like when I fell in the love. Though this may be the case, I always knew what I didn't want. I didn't want one of those story book romances. I didn't want to meet her in a coffee shop after she spills her coffee on me or on a busy subway train after she slipped and I was able to catch her in my arms. No, I wanted to meet her in a way that let me know that it was our destiny to meet, a way that people wouldn't believe it when we told them. That's what I wanted.
But hey, I was content with my life that way it was. I was happy with my job, I had great friends, nice apartment, and so on. I guess you could say I had a great life. But once I met her, everything else became second nature.
She wasn't what I pictured my future wife to be like, that's for sure. I always imagined myself falling for a simple, yet exciting woman, maybe someone who was a librarian or a teacher. She would enjoy books and movies. She would enjoy the occasional fun night out but would always be up for a crazy night in. That's how I imagined her.
Turns out, my one true love would be a little bit different. She's a free spirit who lives life to the fullest each and everyday. She's amazing. Smart, beautiful, creative, funny, confident, and well, a whole lot of other things.
The best thing about her though, she taught me the true meaning of love.
