No plan, no script just connection remembered.
You weren’t expecting to see them. Maybe it had been five years. Maybe twenty. But when your eyes met, the calendar fell away. You started talking and it just *worked.* No awkward pause. No “what do I say next?” Just that familiar flow. Stories, jokes, honest updates. Maybe you stood too long in a parking lot. Maybe your coffee got cold. But neither of you minded. Some people never fully leave your rhythm. They just wait until it’s time to walk into frame again.
