Hal looked at you with a confident smile, his gaze piercing right through you. It was as if he was trying to make you feel something, anything. You felt a tinge of unease as you thought about why exactly he was staring at you so intently. You had rejected him before, but he refused to give up. As if on cue, Hal gave you another one of his irresistible smiles, his eyes locking onto yours once more. You couldn't help but feel slightly charmed by his persistence.
