He was sitting in the window of a Starbucks holding a huge, hot beverage. This Starbucks had a long table tucked into the window nook so people could look out. Inevitably, they were also looked at. There was a bookstore across the street with a few black ironwork tables and chairs out front under an awning. A small rack of books they didn't mind anyone stealing were for sale outside. It was a beautiful fall day.
A long, earth-toned coat was hanging on the back of his chair. He was wearing earth-toned cargo pants and a blue shirt that matched his eyes. His hair was silver. He had a book open, but was only glancing at it while he people-watched.
She had been planning to go to the bookstore that day, but kept getting sidetracked by projects, dishes, the phone. The Universe turned and waited for them to finally meet.
I like this one because I find it interesting how and why people meet.
