He eyed her sipping her drink. She was glorious; he had to meet her but his timing had to be perfect. No impulsive actions this time. He wasn’t one who believed in love at first sight. No, it was more the way her finger toyed with that one loose strand of hair or the way she imperceptibly licked her lips before sipping her glass. When she looked his way, he waved slightly but she only had eyes for her approaching date.
With great aplomb, he ran his raised hand through his hair.

Well, darn it, I feel sorry for him – sorry that he didn’t have the confidence to make his presence known.

His problem in the past was too much confidence so he kept a low profile this time and missed out. Win some, lose some, Misk.
