She was staring at something across the room. 

She was making him feel uncomfortable. 

'It wouldn't work. 

It's the attraction of opposites,' he said.

We're not opposites.'

I don't mean just you and me. 

Women fall in love when they get to know you. 

Men are just the opposite. 

When they finally know you they're ready to leave.”

~ James Salter
