a woman enters a coffee shop. she is wearing her favorite dress, a quilt of fabrics collected throughout her twenties. she sees the man who she thinks of often. the one who got away. she hasn't seen him in about a year. not since the breakup. the coffee shop is small. intimate. she has no choice but to say hello.
they have some small talk. catch up. she asks how thanksgiving was. she knows that he gets anxious around family. he says is still writing his fantasy novel. her eyes don't leave his face as he describes it. he tells her about his writing and she says she's into that. she is into him too. she said her favorite color is green. the color of his eyes.
their conversation ends. they wish each other the best. she leaves the cafe, neither one of them looking back at the other as she walks away.
