While doing my book report, alone on the second floor of a restaurant beside the highway,
I felt ennui while waiting for my order. I had almost finished my activity and it had been 30 minutes but my food had not been delivered yet.

I decided to stand up and visit the counter when a tall, dark, and handsome young man walked in my direction. He had my red velvet milk tea and French fries.

When our eyes met, I winked at him and he slid on the wet floor. Along with my food, I fell for him instantly. He was very sorry for the mess and promised to bring me new food.

It has been 10 years, but it is still a fresh memory. Now, I am waiting for him again, but excitement is what I feel and not boredom. Here I am in the same chair and table, observing the cars and people passing by, as we celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary where everything started.
