Did you ever meet someone you knew right away was right for you?

I could feel her ample breast against my naked and tingling forearm as we rose higher and higher. I wondered what she was thinking as I gazed into her eyes. She coyly looked up at me with her deep dark eyes and licked her lips, as if in answer to my unasked question.

We had never met, nor had we ever spoke. I wondered if she would get off with me. Would we take this ride together again? Would we meet again? These were all just unasked questions left unanswered as the elevator doors slid open and she walked away.
