- Right on time, three sharp knocks sounded on the door. Lance was standing in the hallway. Taking one last, quick look in the mirror, she reached for the doorknob. Two lives were separated only by one wooden door. She was ready to say her first words, and they were even poised on the tip of her tongue. Ari had decided to play it cool until she had decided which way the evening would go. Turning the doorknob and swinging the door open wide, she saw Lance for the first time. All her preparations flew out the window! Just when she thought she had it all planned out and would be in control, the sight of him took her breath away. In an awkward moment of trying to regain her composure, she had to fight the butterflies and the rising warmth in her cheeks just to say hello. A thousand men were on base, and not once had she ever felt like this with any of them. Suddenly this strong, confident woman felt like a school girl. "Hi! I'm Lance. I'm hoping you're Arielle." "Yes, let me grab my handbag," she said as she realized she was out of breath. Lance appeared cool under fire. Easily talkative, he could take a commanding role in any conversation. Right now, he was also struggling to find any words that would sound confident. His first thoughts included she's beautiful, she has poise, and she's a lady. Lance was stunned by his first look at Arielle. He had no idea. All his preconceived ideas of how the night was going to go blew up for both of them. He had no doubt that this was no ordinary blind date. One door opened their relationship. Another would determine their destiny.
