There’s something different about him, and I don’t have to think hard to see it. Something about the way he takes over a room, the way he looks at me, like he has already identified and can disarm every one of my defense mechanisms with no effort, like he sees through them to the disaster lying beneath. And he wants it. K.A. Tucker
About This Quote

You might think that you want to be with someone, but it takes a lot more than just wanting him and liking him. At first it seems like there is something different about him and you don’t have to think hard to see it. In fact, you really don’t even have to think at all. Just the way he looks at you makes you feel like he can disarm every defense mechanism that you built up as a child.

You base your self-esteem on what other people think of you and suddenly this person isn’t looking at you with those eyes anymore. Instead, he sees through your defenses to the disaster lying underneath.
