Guess who I ran into today…
There I was, tucked in the corner of my favorite café early in the morning, nursing my usual coffee and pretending to read something profound, glasses on. Everything was calm… until fate decided to drop by.
Someone suddenly asked,
“Is this seat taken?”
I looked up… and for a moment, I completely froze.
It was someone I knew from college, yes, that person. My ultimate crush back then. The reason I used to drag myself out of bed at 5:30 just to make it to a 7 AM class.
Back then, I was the nerdy, quiet type, the “before glow-up” version of myself.
Honestly, I didn’t think they’d even remember me.
But there was a smile… a re-introduction…
and when I said my name, they remembered me.
Actually remembered.
Plot twist of the year.
What a tiny world.
And then… the moment that made my heart skip a beat: they handed me their number. Without me even asking.
Is it fate?
Is it destiny?
Or just the universe having a little fun with me?
Because just when I thought the moment couldn’t get any more perfect…I found out they’re not exactly available.
And me?
I suddenly turned back into my old awkward, nervous self, overthinking every word, unsure how to keep the conversation going.
Funny thing is…
I’m never like this in the boardroom.
Is it because…?
(Well, you can probably guess.)
