Look too soon.
Apr. 8th, 2025 09:42 pmAn incredibly moment happened to me today. Very Hollywood, very old Europe. I'd just met up with an old work contact and we were sitting outside, catching up, when out of the blue, someone addressed the contact by name: a friend of hers she rarely sees. But this friend happened to see my contact because I'd suggested we sit outside. They spoke, they made plans, the friend left, and we were pleased it happened.
Then, not long before we had to leave, someone walked by and addressed me by name. One of my parents' friends who's become a friend of mine, who I don't see much but always enjoy speaking with. We exchanged a few pleasant words, I joked we were microdosing Paris, she laughed and then left to continue on with her day. The contact and I talked a bit more, then we went our separate ways.
Her and me, start and end. Too tidy to be scripted, and almost too New York for words.
