The Adorable Stalkers

When you have your sights on someone it’s normal to find yourself daydreaming about chance encounters with them. You fantasize about bumping into each other on street corners. In the grocery store. Your local coffee shop. And, of course, your doorstep. Well this almost never happens. That would be too perfect. The reverse occurs once you and that someone go from a something to a nothing. You find yourself having nightmare scenarios of the day you do bump into him. Unexpectedly, with no makeup on. Because you will. It’s a fact about breakups. That, and how the girl will always look better than the guy afterward – they drink, we exercise and get new haircuts. It’s science people. Anyhow. I had one of those these encounters today. While running. And it wasn’t as bad as I imagined. I hope he thought so too.
