She’s coming this way . . . no, she’s stopping . . . Aw, why would somebody like her even LOOK at somebody like me?

Nobody wants to take a real chance on somebody with a past like mine. So many false starts. So many unfortunate choices. Oh they all like me for a good time, just briefly, but not for the long haul. I really thought a few times that I’d found “the one.” But it was all for nothing.

But this one. Wow. Her hair sparkles in the sun. Her smile would make any dark corner light up with the strength of her goodness. Her eyes? What color are they? It doesn’t matter. They’re kind. The crinkles at the edges of her eyes tell me that she smiles and laughs often.

She could probably handle somebody who’s been through a lot . . . but she shouldn’t have to. As much as I think I already love her, I would never ask that of her.

Wait. She’s walking this way. Maybe if I roll a little closer to the door and catch her eye . . .

It worked! She’s walking this way, with purpose. She is one determined lady. Her I could love ‘til I die . . .



“Hi Levi. I’m Sue.”

I love it! You're so creative. I would have never thought to use Levi's first impression of Sue.

Oh -- I'm so happy you wrote this!!!!! And unlike Flip, I not only thought about Levi's first impressions, I was hoping someone would write them. And I knew it was him right from the first sentence! Though that might just mean I've been spending way too much time with my dog lately.

Woof! (Well done!)

This is me discovering you've posted a story in the challenge.

This is me in delight.

This is me realizing it's already over.

Lovely piece Regina. I like how you've portrayed Levi's first impression of Sue. They were meant for each other every bit as much as Sue and a certain handsome dark-haired brown-eyed Special Agent of the FBI...

Amazing how this comment came back around to Jack when he wasn't even in the post. I've been taking lessons from the best...

Karen

You sneaky little devil, you!! It was a sheer delight to find this here!! I've been in Regina withdrawal!!!

I LOVE how you described Levi's first impressions of Sue!! I had that whole scene playing in my head as I read, and this piece fits it perfectly!!!

Thanks for sharing, Regina!!!

Joy

I love it Regina!!! So cute!!

Thanks for share!
Tere

Very clever and sweet Regina. I think you portrayed Levi's thoughts of Sue perfectly.

Thanks for sharing.

Anne

OK, I admit it... I was envisioning Jack rolling around on the bullpen floor there for a minute! A novel approach to be sure... but pretty much anything he wants to do is A-OK by me.

Levi and Sue sure were meant for each other, weren't they? And this tiny little story showed that Levi really was a charmer... maybe Jack took lessons from HIM!

Tina

Regina, I'm so happy to find this here from you.

So short and sweet too. I never even thought about Levi's first impression of Sue. Absolutely perfect.

Lindsy

oh Regina, that was so perfect! Pulled right at the heartstrings!

Loved it Regina just loved it
Lin

Regina, you never cease to amaze me with your talent. I kept trying to think who this guy was and didn't even guess it was Levi when reading the "roll a little closer to the door". When I read that phrase, I'm thinking of the guy rolling in his office chair closer to the door to see this beauty passing in the hall. I even started to think it might be Howie.

Beautiful job!

Lynn

That was very creative, Gina. You could sense Levi's hope beginning to build as he looked out from his kennel and saw Sue.

That was absolutely adorable - and a little unexpected as to whose POV we were dropped into! Very cute though - on second read, you capture Levi very well!

That was so creative and cute I loved it!!!!!

cute.
i love stories with levi's pov...there aren't too many of them.
i always loved levi's and sue's relationship...glad she chose him...or really they chose each other.
