Chance Meeting (?)

When you make a friend in the bathroom, it can only exist in that place. 

You can't take the friendship to other places; laughing at jokes at parties

or meeting mutual friends at a ball game. It dies the moment that door opens.

We both made our way slowly to it. Our heads hanging a little lower, but in

an optimistic tone. Like we were going to break the rule. His wife was waiting

for him outside, and I had a plane to catch. We didn't even say goodbye

or get a coffee.
