She pulled out a book, but I couldn’t see what it was.  A soft smile crept over her face.  I wonder what she read that made it happen.  She quickly jotted something on a nearby notebook and then looked out the window again with those big, contemplative eyes… no, there’s got to be a better word than contemplative.  I wish I had my computer with me to look up the thesaurus… thoughtful?  Meditative?  Introspective?  It’s a lost cause… She gently touched her lips in thought and I forgot about finding the right word…

I spent the next 30 minutes trying to think of a smooth way to approach her.  Why would I go over there?  What would be a good excuse to start a conversation?  I’m sure she’s hit on all the time by jerks who don’t get it.  I didn’t want to be another one of those…
