A Sympathetic Interlocutor
Decorated was the word that first came to mind when he noticed her cheeks. Breaking eye contact only very briefly because he wanted to hold her gaze as long as possible, the strange patterns on her cheeks caught his attention.

The thought intrigued him and suspended the moment of greeting in time.
