Right Guy Wrong Time

Three years ago

Its currently 2am and I'm sat on the floor in an airport waiting to board a flight home from Seattle to New York. I'm in a shit mood cause I'm not feeling well. All flights have been delayed cause of bad weather but their optimistic we will be able to fly sometime soon which they told us four hours ago I was meant to fly at 8pm. I need to eat so I can take some of my medication but I have nothing and everywhere is shut cause it's 2am "Here" comes a voice and I look up and see a guy holding out half a sandwich "You don't have to do that" I say "I'm not that hungry anymore and I have other snacks" he says and I take the sandwich "Thank you" I say and I eat the sandwich and then take my antibiotics "You feeling okay?" he asks "I found out I had a chest infection yesterday so I'm on antibiotics and their very strong so I can't take them on an empty stomach" I say "Should you be flying" he says "Probably not but things like this are normal for me so I know my limits" I say "There's a free seat beside me you shouldn't be sitting on a cold floor if your sick" he says "Thank you" I say and he helps me up and we head to the seats "I'm Glen by the way" he says "Ophelia" I say "Beautiful name your British" he says "British American born in Brooklyn parents went through a messy divorce when I was five mum won custody so we moved back to London but I moved back to New York a few years ago" I say "Did you still get to see your dad" he says "Every summer and alternate Christmases and other breaks wasn't ideal but it was better than nothing" I say "You mentioned being sick is normal for you" he says "I have lupus got diagnosed at 21 been in and out of hospitals ever since total downer on my career" I say "What do you do?" he asks "I was an actress but I've been sick more frequently in the last two years so I've had to put it on the backburner" I say "I'm sure you'll get back there. What brought you to Seattle" he says "My two best friends just had a baby my goddaughter Reagan" I say "Congratulations" he says "Thanks" I say "We've met before you know" he says "Have we" I say "Kind of. It was LA probably two years ago now we were both at the same party. This girl who I don't think you even knew was upset cause of something her boyfriend did and you punched him in the face in front of everyone and I thought God this girl's amazing but you were with someone" he says "Max" I say "He still around" he says "Yeah" I say "I thought seeing you again was a sign from the universe a second chance guess I was wrong" he says just as they announce my flight is gonna be boarding soon "Guess the timing wasn't right cause you seem like the kinda guy a girl could fall in love with pretty easily" I say standing up and grabbing my things "Likewise" he says and I walk away.
