Appearances notwithstanding

Today the prompt at 3 Word Wednesday (a community for writers, poets and bloggers) is:

Nondescript, adjective: lacking distinctive or interesting features or characteristics.

Placid, adjective: (of a person or animal) not easily upset or excited, (especially of a place or stretch of water) calm and peaceful, with little movement or activity.

Quirky, adjective: characterized by peculiar or unexpected traits.

She looked to be the perfect friend.
Just my type.
Bookish, nondescript appearance, sensible shoes.
But first glance, first impression can be misleading.
Beneath the placid wide eyes
Were archives of quirky questions never answered.

I suppose frist impressions are not always realistic - but they certainly make for interesting companions ;)

She sounds like my kind of friend right down to the quirky questions.

Perhaps you were too inquisitive too soon. Everybody has secrets!

Yes - a sound observation - people are rarely 'simple' maybe that is for the best
