The funniest thing:

I become lonely, lonelier than usual, and I think about him all the time. A few days pass. I busy myself with other things. He fades from memory: the crinkled eyes, the broad forearms, the bitter coffee-scented breath, the masculine scrawl. Everything settles down and my heart slows.

Then he says hello.

He was thinking about me, too.
