Andrew realised that he loved her from the moment she reached the counter. Those soft mahogany eyes, that were matched only by the hair cascading off her temples like twirling ribbons, paired perfectly with each of her rich scarlet curls, which appeared as if they had been individually soaked in a bath of ripe cherries. As she ordered her hazelnut latte, he noticed how the creases of her cheeks struggled to contain a smile, one so persistent that both neatly succumbed to form crescent shaped dimples either side of her lips. She looked up, he did too, and for one brief moment their eyes were entwined.

They say that the average human heart beats over three billion times in a lifetime; but Andrew could have sworn that his thumped a trillion times when they first met. And that was just the first ten minutes!
