You sat there trying to grasp what this meant. 

First, how did he find you? 

Your mind went back to the café and the memory of you excitedly telling him all about your job. 

The mental picture of him leaning forward, chin on his hand, soaking in every word made you smile.  He remembered.  He remembered where you worked, your company name, the fact that today was your promotion.  He remembered everything.

You felt your hard earned defenses slip dangerously low.  You heart was tugging you forward while your head was busy daydreaming about the language  of flowers.

You curled up on the comfortable couch in your new office and cradled your phone to your chest and fretted over what to text the man who had captured your imagination and given you hope for the first time in a long time.

It took several tries to send the message.
