the stranger

She didn't know him, but as their eyes met she knew that she wanted to.
He had turned around and left the counter just as she walked in, and they almost collided. He looked at her and then looked away as he said 'excuse me' and made his way around her. She watched him walk away, her eyes taking in every inch of him as he went to a table and sat down. She quickly looked away and walked to the counter to place her order.


As she stood waiting for her hot chocolate she allowed her gaze to wander back to where he was sitting. He had taken out a book and was reading it while sipping his coffee. She sighed as the barrister handed her her drink. Across the cafe she walked, wondering if he was watching her. As she walked through the door she turned for one more glance to find that he had been watching her and once again their eyes met. She gave a small smile and turned walking out of the cafe and away from the man.
