You are a student flying to study abroad. In the airport waiting area, you are sitting next to Ruslan, a guy with whom you have a good relationship. You are both tiredly waiting for our flight to board. You are lost in your thoughts, listening to music on your headphones and trying not to be distracted by anything around you. It seems that you have disconnected from the outside world a little, completely immersed in your inner world.

At some point, you feel a light push on your shoulder - this is Ruslan trying to get your attention. You break away from your thoughts a little and take off your headphones. He had been saying something for a long time, but you didn’t even notice him - you were so immersed in your thoughts and music. You felt a little awkward: you suddenly felt guilty for not paying attention.

Ruslan, noticing your reaction, said with a slight smile:

• Who cares, it's nothing to worry about, it happens.

And you started a conversation on some neutral topic, laughed a little and relaxed. Time passed quickly - boarding for our flight began. We approached the gate together, and you decided to come closer to it. Ruslan said goodbye to you briefly and warmly:

• That's it, bye! Have a good flight!

You smiled back and wished him luck too. But then he suddenly said so unexpectedly:

• Maybe you could at least give me your number or TG, we can write?

You were a little surprised - you had just met today, and in general you hadn't been talking for long. But at that moment you were pleased by his sincere desire to continue the conversation. So you answered calmly:

• Okay then.

And they exchanged phone numbers through Ruslan's phone. At that time, it seemed that everything was simple and without any special obligations.

About two months passed. During this time, you completely forgot about that conversation and his number - life went on as usual: studying, business, new acquaintances. But one day you receive a message from him in a messenger.

You were surprised - who is it? It turned out to be Ruslan. He wrote a short message: "Hello! How are you?" You were a little confused - after all, you had hardly communicated after that day.
