Her name was Leah.  She was an athletically built woman who had a natural caramel complexion which almost looked like she had just walked out of a tanning salon.  Her beautiful long dark wavy hair accentuated her oval shaped face and facial features.  Her brown eyes were remarkably gleaming with powerful vibes.  The most radiant feature she had was her magnificent smile.  She brightened up a room when she entered it.  She was vibrant and happy.  Her personality was astoundingly magical.  She had been divorced and started to focus on her professional career.  Two years had passed, and she showed no signs of wanting to be in a committed relationship.  She continued to strive for the best in life and to accomplish every goal she set for herself.  Until, one afternoon, when she bumped into a man who had caught her eye.  She saw that he was well groomed and had this confidence about himself.  He was average in height, had short dark hair, was light complected and had the most spectacular eyes ever imaginable.  Her curiosity grew and she wanted to satisfy them all.  She had introduced herself and soon after they had started to spend some time getting to know each other.  She was very intrigued by his intelligence and especially his sense of humor.  He kept her smiling the entire time they were together.  At this point, her feelings for him started to surprise her.  She hasn’t felt the longing for companionship in so long, but somehow her feelings and thoughts had taken a twist.   She didn’t want to bluntly state her inner feelings because she feared the thought of being rejected.  She couldn’t handle the situation and at the same time, she didn’t want to seem desperate.  Leah continued the cordial friendship, however, her true feelings were slowly suffocating her heart.  She found it difficult to sit with him and pretend that friendship was all she wanted.  She needed to figure out a flawless plan to unveil her deep feelings for him.  She consumed her mind daily of the approach she needed to take to just lay everything out on the table.  Frustration, desperateness, and irritation started to take its toll on her.  She couldn’t understand why she was struggling with this task.  Finally, she landed on a simple solution, which is how she likes to tackle everything.  She was just going to come straight out and tell him how she really feels.  She had convinced herself that whatever the outcome will be, she will remain strong and maintain her composure.  So now comes the moment of truth.  She decides to discuss everything over dinner.  Plans have been confirmed and the nervousness kicks into overdrive.  Her mind is filled with so many things and her emotions are running wild.  She starts thinking ahead and goes through every type of response possible for what she is about to come clean about.  Finally, they sit in a quiet corner of the restaurant.  Her heart races, her palms are as cold as ice, her mouth is dry as the desert heat, and she finally gathers every ounce of strength in her to speak….
