Heart skipped a beat upon first glance from "summary" of Love At First Sight by Rebecca Merz
In that moment, everything seemed to stop. Time slowed to a crawl as our eyes locked across the crowded room. A wave of warmth washed over me, starting from the tips of my fingers and toes and spreading throughout my entire body. It was as if the world had suddenly become brighter, more vibrant, more alive. I couldn't tear my gaze away, captivated by the intensity of the connection that seemed to crackle in the air between us. My heart, that faithful organ that had beat steadily and surely for so many years, seemed to falter for just a split second. It was as if it had forgotten how to keep time, stumbling over a beat in its haste to catch up with the sudden rush of emotions coursing through me. I felt a strange mix of excitement and nerves, a heady combination that left me breathless and exhilarated. In that single glance, I felt as though I had been seen, truly seen, for the first time in my life. It was as if this stranger standing before me had somehow managed to peel back the layers of my carefully constructed facade and glimpse the true essence of who I was. I felt exposed and vulnerable, yet strangely liberated at the same time. As our eyes continued to hold each other's gaze, I felt a sense of recognition wash over me. It was as if I had known this person in another lifetime, in another world. There was a familiarity in the curve of their smile, the twinkle in their eyes, that resonated deep within me. It was a feeling of coming home, of finally finding that missing piece that had eluded me for so long. And in that moment, I knew that my life would never be the same again. Something had shifted irrevocably within me, setting off a chain reaction that would alter the course of my existence forever. I couldn't explain it, couldn't rationalize it, but I knew with absolute certainty that this was the beginning of something extraordinary.
