It's as if the world came crashing down my feet the moment those deep, penetrating eyes were fixed on me. I have always maintained a facade of being calm and level-headed, but beneath the placid exterior lurks a boiling, panic-stricken, swooning--can you even put these descriptions together?--composure. And when those x-ray gazes zero in on my hidden vulnerabilities, probing my deeply-felt emotions and cross-examining my motives, all my defenses seem to have given way.
I have been unable to mount a counter-offensive, paralyzed by an unforeseen and inexplicable force. It's as if a tornado blasted its way through, uprooting everything in its path, changing the landscape, forever.
