Prompt: blindness

"Who do you love?" she asked with all the cluelessness in the world. The light hit her just right making her curly hair a fiery halo. The lines etched near her eyes were apparent from all the (million) times she laughed. Her eyes shone bright like a beacon in the dark, chill night. Her breath smelled of minty toothpaste. Her pale lips were parted ever so slightly. Her grip on his hand was tight. The nails on her fingers were electric blue. Her eyes stayed on his with that crazycrazy look that made people cower in fear but not him, oh not him, Right now she looked almost surreal. For a second it's like the world stood still and stared.

He looked at her and wondered how she could be so blindingly beautiful yet so dense and blind.
