He's been watching you for months now, watching as you came and left the gym with a straight expression on your face. There was an obvious difference between you and all the other women he's met. A level of ferocity that drew him in and intimidated him at the same time.

Most women would have noticed him by now, most women would have been throwing themselves at him. However, he's not interested in most women. He's interested in more meaningful things and there's nothing more meaningful than the things hidden.

He started smiling whenever you walked in despite the expressionless face you often wore. His chest began to tighten whenever you got close despite never speaking to you. Every other woman faded into the background and finally he built up the courage to approach you.
