A Chance Meeting

Funny who you can find in a coffee house

She peeped inside the cafe window; that couldn't be him. She took off her glasses, squinted through the window, realized she couldn’t see without them, and put them back on.

Her heart beat faster and faster. All her life she dreamt of an opportunity like this. She searched high and low, scoured newspapers and message boards, and told all her friends to keep an eye out for her. Yet nothing ever came of it. Now, on a normal Tuesday afternoon in a small town just outside of Portland, there he was.

He was just sitting there, drinking a cup of coffee like any normal human being. Of course, she knew that he was no normal human being. He transcended that a long time ago. She was certain of that, even if her friends gave her funny looks when she said it.

And now, here was her opportunity. She took one deep breath, then stepped forward and pushed the door open. She marched right up to the counter, ordered a mocha Americano with a double shot of espresso, then turned and walked to the table.

She sat down and said, “You’re Mr. King right? Mind if I sit here?”
