Intrigue

I never thought that I would be the person that was emotionally invested in anything, because I am essentially a selfish being. But tonight, as I stared at Lu, I was absolutely enthralled with everything she did.

As she was sleeping, I found myself focused on simple, stupid things that we take for granted: the way her eyes flinched at some unknown dream, the beautiful tender purple color of her eyelids, the perfect shape of her lips, the indentation below her nose, the way she sucks at the air, or the way she moves her hands up in a defensive position against a nocturnal villain....

It's amazing what will suck me into a different realm now. I could watch her sleep for hours.
