She just completely overtook his view as if there was nothing else present.
As the night grew thin, he mustard up the confidence to commit to an intelligent conversation with this stranger. From this moment fourth, they were inseparable. From roaming the streets of Phoenix without a wandering clue of how the day would go, all the way to going through every early relationship awkward encounter of meeting each other's family. They stuck together and let nothing overcome the potential they saw in each other.
