unexpected.

"want to see"

it was supposed to be just one date. 

with someone she knew (or she believed) she would never consider a future with.

"he had all the strikes," she said.  "three and more."

then, the first date: she found herself not wanting it to end.

"okay, i'll just have fun.  it won't hurt, right?"  (that's how it begins.) 

she didn't expect to feel this way.

i guess, that's how the best things in life are ... when you have no expectations at all.  and then wham!  you're hit with the wonderfulness of it.

i guess, sometimes, our hearts know before our minds ... that we're feeling something for a certain someone.  but, i guess that's how love works.  it just happens.  sometimes (oftentimes), unexpectedly.

she didn't think she'd feel this way. 

but now, all she wants is to tell him, "i want to see you.  i just want to see you."
