From WAITING ON YOU when Lucas sees Colleen for the first time, their senior year of high school... Under normal circumstances, he would’ve classified (and dismissed) her as another too-popular pretty girl, same as any other. But something happened when their eyes locked. She saw him. Not just his general bad-boy looks, which he had nothing to do with but which had an undeniable effect. Not just a slide of her eyes up and down his torso. She saw him. Her eyes—her big, wide beautiful eyes changed from smug and amused to…more open somehow. Like something clicked, and she could see his whole life story in one look. He didn’t like it one freaking bit. By the end of that day, he knew her voice, could tell when she was nearby, because it was the same feeling as when the barometer dropped in front of a storm, that strange, buzzing sensation he’d get before the mighty Midwestern clouds rolled in, churning with electricity and heat. The same feeling as the night he’d put his foot on the rail and felt the train coming, that hum of power. She felt it, too. He could tell, because she avoided him for weeks. What do you think? Do you believe in love at first sight?
