You know that feeling when you first meet someone that you find attractive?
Your body tingles, your eyes seem to take in more detail than the could just a few seconds before, and there’s a sudden nervousness that washes over you— like you just walked into a job interview and you REALLY want to be liked.
When I first met Shiela, it was all of that—but more.
I was with my wife at a boring office party, and Shiela was the wife of my wife’s coworker.
See? We’re already off to a shaky moral start, aren’t we.
When we first got a glimpse of each other, there was an instant connection… an intensity that I couldn’t explain, and I prayed that neither my wife or her husband could sense it too.
Her dress was green, long, and appropriate for what you would expect the spouse of a corporate professional to wear at an office party.
Even though everything was covered, my eyes were able to make out every inch of her that the fabric clung to.
