[ FF ] You do n't believe in love in first sight , but one encounter convinces you otherwise . ~50 to 200 words

All eyes are on her as she enters the room. But I saw her first. 
 
 *She ’ s mine. * 
 
 Love at first sight? That ’ s just superficial nonsense for hopeless romantics. So what the hell is going on inside my chest right now? This is the first time I have ever felt my heart beat so hard it sends tremors through my entire body. My god, she is beautiful. 
 
 *Did she just make eye contact? * 
 
 I ’ ve never been so terrified in my life. She ’ s looking at me. 
 
 *Was that the hint of a smile? * 
 
 No, it couldn ’ t be. I look down at my feet. I can feel the sweat gathering on my forehead. Heart still racing. This whole experience is foreign to me. 
 
 *Just go over there, man. You can do it. * 
 
 Somehow, my legs start working. 
 
 *One step at a time. * 
 
 I ’ m so close now. Our eyes are still locked together. My heart races as I approach. 
 
 The doctor smiles and hands her to me. 
 
 ‘ Mr. Stevens, I ’ d like you to meet your daughter. ’
