That was the first thing I registered.
Because I knew what she looked like put together.
I had memorized it two years ago, without meaning or wanting to.
It was Tuesday morning in the lobby of one of my companies when she’d collided with my chest and grabbed fistfuls of my shirt to keep from falling.
Her eyes had been squeezed shut–terrified, almost, the way people get when they’re braced for impact–and I’d caught her without thinking.
