My gaze flitted around the rowdy party, briefly landing on a head of mouse brown hair. The girl turned, and all the blood in my body froze. The slope of that nose, those pink cheeks, that beautiful smile.

She was... there. Holy shit.

2 years had gone by since I'd seen that smile, heard that laugh, felt that skin. There she was, standing in this apartment, looking like everything I'd ever wanted. It felt like the world around us slowed, before I feel an elbow collide with my ribs.
