Shy to the bone

She headed for the corner.
Demure and graceful she sat ~ a wallflower.
Clueless of her feral charm.

This is a reality for so many shy girls. You describe it perfectly Line. Bravo! : )

I instantly see a beautiful girl who has been told she is less than beautiful, looking down, shy, not expecting to be asked.

demure is so vastly underrated … I so like this one, Line. … I've pictured a librarian with glasses on and hair pulled back ... and knock-out figure underneath loose, ill-fitting, unstylish clothing :) gw
