Sophie's POV:
I sigh as I finish vacuuming the last room in the apartment. I look around and smile; it feels good to see the apartment all nice and neat. Feeling a little hungry, and not having anything else to do, I decide to go into the local coffee shop near my apartment and have a little snack since I was getting tired of carrots and hummus, and there aren't any other snacks at home. But once I get there, I realize that the shop is closed.
I take a look at my watch and notice that it's already 5:30.
I'm thirty minutes late.
Really wanting some coffee, I decide to take a trip to "Stumptown Coffee Roasters" since it's not that far from home either and I know that it'll be open for another hour.
------------------
After ordering a coffee and a blueberry muffin, I plug my earbuds into my iPhone and start to stream "First Impressions Of Earth," keeping my phone in my jacket pocket. I really admire the change in the sound of this album. I smile as the track "You Only Live Once" starts playing. I remember that one night six years ago, where Julian and I were in the back of his car, and he sang me to sleep with an alternate version of this song.
It makes me happy as I think about all of the fun memories I had with The Strokes and Julian back then.
I take a sip of my coffee and realize it needs a bit of sugar. I pause the song and put everything back into my jacket pocket while walking over to the condiment bar with my coffee. Unfortunately, I don't notice where I'm going and end up accidentally bumping into someone. Well, shit. I manage to spill hot coffee all over the floor. I sigh and use the tissues that I had with my cup to clean up the mess.
"Oh, I'm really sorry! Are you okay?" the man asks me as he helps me clean up, keeping my coffee cup upright to prevent any more of the drink from spilling onto the floor.
We avoid eye contact with each other, only focusing on cleaning up the spill. I just give a sigh and say, "Yeah, it's fine, don't worry about it. I can take ca- "
I pause when I glance at the man's face. I take a good look at him as he also notices my face.
Both of our eyes slowly widen as we exchange surprised looks. I'll notice those doe eyes anywhere.
"Julian?" I softly ask.
"Hi Sophie..."
