Ooo, nice and creepy, love it! One thing that confuses me tho is how he can see her eyes as she doesn't turn to him until after you've described them? I'm assuming he must know her from before this snippet. If so, please ignore me! :)

Thank you everybody for the lovely comments! I'm glad the snippet's intriguing!

@Monica - Very perceptive! It is indeed a vision. Well, the first bits of one!

@Pippa - It's more that she turns her head to look at him than she turns toward him.

@Sarah - I hope so! I try to pick memorable moments for these snippets! :-D
