They walked in the gallery together.
He walked in first. leading the way. There were a few people inside the room and he started talking to the ones he knew.
Not wanting to interrupt him, she quietly proceeded in the next room. She was looking at the paintings when at some point she turned back and saw him approaching her.
A handsome gentleman. His coat, the way he looked at her and the way he approached her made her fall in love with him even more.
'I think we should start looking at the paintings from this side' - he said and she followed him in the next room.
She was not really looking at the paintings but rather enjoying his company.
They made their way in the gallery's different rooms enjoying the artworks and talking silently. She kept on asking him questions about the artworks. when at some point they stopped in the middle of the room.
They looked at each other's eyes. That was the first time 'when their eyes met'.
For that one split of a second, it was the two of them in the room.
With a gentle gesture he noted they should go and she walked with him back to the parking lot.
They said good night to each other and she started walking away from him.
Somehow however, she found the courage to turn back.
Before they both realized it, she fell into his arms.
Surprised as he was, he hugged her back.
She wanted to stay there for longer but couldn't.
'Thank you' - she said silently and turned to leave with a smile on her face.
She kept on thinking of how warm and calm and free she felt with him.
She loved the impact he had on her and wanted to guard all these feelings.
She wanted to keep that moment close to her heart and store it somewhere safe.
'I don't want to ruin this for us' - she kept on whispering to herself.
'I don't want to ruin this for us...'
