...she sat stunned. Wordless for once. Sure her expression was that of a cold stone. Her heart pounded in her chest.
when was the last time anyone had took interest in her. To ask her number was unheard of. Here was this handsome man, lost and found in her favourite library, kindly asking for her contact details. but but but.... mine? .... why?.... urm... s**t i better answer him...he looks like he's about to die on the inside..... fuck..
