    She looked so innocent. Pure. The first time I saw her, it was like that scene from the movie, where Kevin Spacey sees the cheerleader, and she seems to glow. My travels took me through the town where my daughter was attending college, so I called to set up a lunch date. My daughter invited me to join her and her friends because they were about to get lunch. She was sitting across from me when I joined my daughter at their table. Her eyes were pure and round and she couldn't seem to stop watching my every move. After lunch, I continued on my journey for work. The next semester, my daughter dropped out, moved back closer to home, and found a new set of friends. I see comments from some of her college friends on my daughter’s online posts, but never anything from the girl with the eyes. I didn't even remember her name. And then I got an unusual phone call from my daughter. "Hey dad, remember Theresa, from Platteville?" she asked. "No? Was she one of your roommates at the house?" "No, she was there that time you met me for lunch at the student union. She sat across from us." My heart skipped a beat. I knew exactly who she was asking about. "I guess, but not really. What about her?" "She ended up stranded at the Cook County Circuit Court building in Rolling Meadows. She remembered me saying I worked with you in Schaumburg one summer, and she was hoping I could come rescue her. Isn't that close to your office? "That's about ten minutes from here.

It was nearly lunch time, so I skipped out of work early. My daughter texted me to let me know that Theresa knew I was coming. I saw her before she saw me. She was standing at a counter in the lobby, talking to a police officer. In the years since I had first seen her, her style had matured, but her face was just as pretty. Her eyes were not nearly as bright as I remembered. At least they weren't until she turned as saw me. She took a quick intake of breath, and a half smile lit up her face. Her beautiful pure eyes locked on mine, and she turned toward me as I approached. I stopped a respectable step away from her and the officer, but she stepped in close and threw her arms around me. I gave her a quick hug, but she clung to me far longer. I smiled an apology to the officer. "I assume you will vouch for this young lady," he asked with a smile. I had only met her once, five years ago. I know nothing about her, not even her last name. I would lie about nearly anything if I thought she would keep looking at me like that with those eyes. "She's my daughter's best friend. Unless she did something really bad, I guess I vouch for her. What did she do?" She finally released the bear hug she held around me, and although she stepped slightly away from me, she purposefully stepped under my arm. "Nothing bad, sir," he said with a smile. "Our ...
