The Intruder II

And when he finally caught that first glimpse, something exceptional would happen to him. A feeling so intense, so pure, that time itself seemed to stand still. He could stay watching her all night, for as long as she was in that office, working diligently on her oversized notebook. His concentration impeccable, not a cell in his body would move. Only his breathing, though controlled like a science experiment, could be heard by the creatures sharing the back yard with him. This woman he coveted so much simply had no idea he was there, and that simple fact drove him crazy. And just the possibility of making contact with her, of finally breaking the distance that existed between them, kept his body lush with adrenaline.
