the flicker of her eyes
burning embers
greeting
shimmering ice
his glance of deceit
her adrenaline rush of new experience
shaky voice
jaggedly colliding with his
steady pulse
immune awareness
her naive hands
a leap of faith
timidly locked into his
calculated plan
callused palms
her sea of tears
gutted feeling
falling at the feet of his
utter indifference
complete disregard
