The gray eyes. That's what he sees first. Then he sees them flutter close. Then he notices the blood dripping down her brow, the snow coating her damp hair, damp with….blood, making her hair sparkle red. Then he hears the noises, of paramedics rushing, shouting, telling him to get moving, push her into the OT.

Then everything hits him like a ton of bricks. The realization that he is falling for this woman, brought on a stretcher to him, fighting for her life, a woman he doesn't even know, a woman he has never seen, met or even heard before.

A woman who looks beautiful, even in the mangles state she's in. as they go into operation, he keeps glancing up at her face, again and again, hoping to see those gray eyes again, look beond the storm clouds in them into her soul.

And he does. He sees those eyes again. He tries to look beyond them. He sees the hopelessness, the despair in them. Then she speaks for the first time, and she's even more beautiful now. He wants to hear more.

And he does. He understands the despair and the hopelessness behind the storm clouds in her eyes. He cries when he sees her cry and he tries everything he can to make her smile, just once, even if its just for a fleeting second.

And he does. She smiles at his dorky ways of trying to make her smile, and after seeing her smile, he decides that he's going to be a dork for her all his life.

Then she laughs, lightly. And now he's sure he's dead and in heaven. And god, does he want to kiss her right there and then.

And he does. Blame his impulsiveness. Not exactly blame, actually because she kisses him back.

Its been two years now. They still are together. Yes, they have had more than their share of fights. But they never left. And he always caught her when she almost fell.

And today, as he slides the ring onto her finger, he looks into her eyes. The same gray eyes he had fallen for. And all he can see is joy, happiness, hope and most important of all, love. And the best part of it is, he responsible for it. As he looks into those eyes, he realizes what 'love at first sight' means.
