These few lines have taken on a life of their own since I wrote them nearly two years ago for a writing group I belong to, and are the first lines - and the driving idea - of the novel I am currently working on. Maybe it will even be finished some day.
Beautiful is far too cliche for a girl like her - and not terribly accurate either.
Entrancing, or maybe captivating?
Yes, captivating - that's the right word. I was definitely a captive from the first moment I looked into that girl's intoxicating deep brown eyes.
Listen to me, calling her a 'girl' like I'm some pubescent teen chasing the head cheerleader - no, she was all woman.
And she turned my world inside out like a tidal wave - completely fascinating, yet utterly devastating.
