I notice him<\/p>\n\n\n\n
near instantly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as I walk in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silver fox,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
open smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holding organic yoghurt and sourdough bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good combination<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I muse,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and head for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
chocolate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
display case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We make small talk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the queue<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and as I attempt to pay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my watch freezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So sorry, I stutter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll just pop to the car and grab my bank card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our eyes meet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as he passes by in the parking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m on my way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
back inside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to pay for <\/p>\n\n\n\n
my chocolate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
stash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back inside,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the cashier hands me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the paper bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your friend paid for you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
he says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
moving on <\/p>\n\n\n\n
to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
serve the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
next<\/p>\n\n\n\n
customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
