Direct Hit You could see rainbows in Terrence's eyes. He had never seemed so giddy and bubbly before. Even a couple of months ago, everyone knew Terrence to possess a Herculean image. The quarterback was known for his tough exterior. And then—just like a sudden rain in a desert—Terrence changed. If you could just pause and notice his face, you would see the lips curl into a permanent smile. When he walked, it seemed as if Terrence was walking through the ocean—his knees appeared weak. Often, this sudden change in his appearance followed one chance encounter with Seema in the hallway. Sometimes, Terrence's softness was a result of his running into Seema in the cafeteria.

Terrence was struck by Cupid's arrow, and the evidence was everywhere.
