"You look different."

I instinctively touched my hair. "I know, I had it cut yesterday. Does it look bad?" I didn't know why I asked him that.

"Not at all. It suites you."

I felt a sense of relief and sat down beside him. It was colder than usual and I regretted not bringing an extra jacket. He must have noticed me shivering because he offered me his long brown coat.

"No thanks."

"Alright, freeze to death."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to freeze death. The bus is due to show up in less than ten minutes. I'll be fine."

A few minutes passed.

"Why did you cut your hair?" he randomly asked.

"I wanted a change."

He smirked. "Did something dramatic happen in your life?"

"Yeah actually, I got promoted at work."

"Seriously?"

"Yup. It's a miracle."

"That's great! I'm happy for you," he congratulated sincerely.

I was touched. "Thanks. That means a lot."
