I knew she was beautiful

I was moving into a new apartment. Walking into the building I was greeted in the foyer by all the other people living there. There were so many people! 40 maybe 50, all clapping and cheering, smiling, giving words of welcome like "Welcome!" "Nice to meet you!" I put my bags down to shake hands and introduce myself. I was quite embarrassed, is this normal? I look up and see a girl through the crowd. She's pretty, maybe a little plain, but still, she took my breath away. There was a kind of magic about her, a twinkle in her eyes, then our eyes met and time froze. A spotlight shone down from the roof on her, illuminated in white light, glowing. I push my way through all the frozen people to get to her. "Hi" "Hi" she replies with a shy smile. Then, strangely a montage starts, short flashes of different moments in our relationship. Walking and holding hands, painting a room, walking a dog, play fighting, laughing, kissing, all the typical corny things you might see in a romance movie. The interesting thing though was that with every new scene she became more and more beautiful. At the end she was undeniably gorgeous and I was just as mystified by her as I was when I first saw her. The dream ends with me thinking to myself 'I knew she was beautiful'.
