Last Friday you figured you would order a Sicilian pie for dinner and Alvaro told you that it would take about 10-15 minutes so you took a seat by the window and waited patiently.
About 2 minutes after you sat down a young woman walked in and you immediately noticed two things about her. For one she was truly "stacked," and she was probably going to the visual highlight of the day for you. The second thing you notice was that she seemed to be stressed out and you initially noticed this by her constant movement and then it was brought to your attention when she asked:
"Do you mind if I sit here?"
She took a seat at your table and because you could see that she was visibly upset you asked her:
"Are you okay"
She went on to explain that she was worried about her family that currently lived in Tehran and was having difficulty getting in contact with them. You tried your best to keep her calm and actually managed to make her laugh because you showed her several videos that someone was making mocking Trump and Hegseth.
That cheered her up a bit and before you left she asked if she could call you and you exchanged numbers.
You went home and thought about that random meeting and actually "kicked yourself" for not being more aggressive because it felt like you and Melia had bonded and you let a potential relationship fall by the wayside.
Saturday was a new day and you really didn't do anything special for the majority of the day and then around 7:00 PM your phone rang with a number that you weren't familiar with and you started not to answer, but something said:
"Suppose it's Melia?"
To your surprise it was and she asked you did you have any dinner plans and did you know of any good Chinese restaurants in the area?
You told her that you did and met her in front of her building and walked a few blocks to the place and apparently Melia must have felt comfortable with you because after dinner she invited you back to her apartment.
You really weren't expecting anything considering that you just met less than 36 hours ago, but Melia explained:
"I really appreciated you cheering me up yesterday and it also made me realize that tomorrow is not promised so I feel the need to live for today"
Her words warranted your attention so did her next actions...
