Walking at a faster pace she had to get one more glimpse of him before he sped off in his Jeep.  She walked this path for years going to work at the hospital and had never seen him before.  Who was this man!  He was tall and had a muscular physique.  His blonde hair, mid-length and blowing in the wind, gave him a certain ruggedness that fascinated her.  Her heart raced as she saw him in the distance.  As she walked closer his smile captured the moment.  This time, he spoke.  His voice was strong yet gentle and she could barely bring herself to say hello back.  She just wanted take in everything about him that captured her interest.  But she realized what the attraction was when he smiled.  His entire face lit up.  He looked like a guardian angel who had been sent just for her.  How could these brief moments be so hard to forget and become something that made her want to know more about him?  She could not resist smiling back but she wanted more.  She wanted to know all about this man who captured her heart.  She knew what her next step would be.  As she walked on, she felt pangs of excitement and fear but next time, she would introduce herself.  Smiling, she opened the hospital door knowing that tomorrow would be magical because he was magical.
