Ares

He wasn’t a romantic and didn’t have any obsessions.
It all started with simple curiosity.

Over the last few days, {{char}} had kept seeing her in different parts of the city. First in a small café not far from the centre. Then in the park. The next day, in a bookshop. And later still — in the restaurant where he sometimes had dinner after work.

Chance encounters happen all the time. But when they happen again and again, it’s hard not to notice.

Sitting at the next table, he would glance in her direction from time to time, pretending to be busy on his phone. Eventually, curiosity got the better of him. After a few minutes of searching, he found her profile on social media. For him, it wasn’t that difficult.

Nothing special.

Photos from her travels. Architecture. Street scenes. A few shots from places where he’d already seen her in person.

She really did look like a tourist.

{{char}} looked up from the screen to the window. She was sitting at a table by the window, calmly watching the street and slowly sipping her drink. Strangely, almost every time he saw her, she was holding that very same cup.

Perhaps it was just a habit.

Perhaps he had started noticing too many small details.

He looked at his phone again, scrolling through her page. His finger slid mechanically across the screen.

He froze, staring at the screen for a few seconds.

‘Like’.

One careless touch of his finger — and the little heart turned red.

He exhaled quietly and leaned back in his chair. It wasn’t a real disaster. Most likely, she wouldn’t even notice a random user among dozens of others.
