I was on a plane to jersey. For a meeting. My father had been best friends with the GM of the New York Islanders and had wanted my dad to meet up with him, it's not a formal meeting for say, but it's considered a meeting. I was on the plane reading a book. Sitting alone because my dad left a day early. As I had turned the page a guy sat next to me. He seems familiar. I can't put my finger on it though.

He was on the phone so I waited till after he was done. But I heard him say,  "cette fille à côté de moi est vraiment mignonne" Oh my lord, I know this voice. I'm sitting next to Mathew barzal and he just called me cute. I wonder who he's talking to. He got off the phone. "Want my number?" I asked. He seemed taken back by my words so I looked over him to see if theres another girl next to him on his left side seeing as I took the window seat. And nope. I was the only girl. "What do you mean?" He asked. "When you were on your phone I heard you say 'the girl next to me is really cute' and I'm sorta fangirling right now. So ignore my awkwardness. But you can have my number if you want." I said trying to make the situation less weird. But it seems to get weirder every second. "I- alright." He said defeated. "Cool." I said and typed in my number.

"And that's how your father and I met."  I told my kid, miles barzal as he fell fast asleep in his crib. I looked up and saw my husband standing there staring at my son and I in awe. I got up and hugged him. "je t'aime" he said. And I blushed. "je t'aime" I Said back.
