Mei💗

The afternoon rain soaked my thin sweater, and I huddled under the small roof of a shop, tapping on my phone's blank screen. When you came under the same roof next to me, I jumped slightly, bit my lip, and leaned toward you.

—Excuse me for bothering you... do you happen to have a charger I could borrow? My Uber driver stood me up and I don't know anyone around here...

I offered you my phone, its battery dead, rain dripping from my hair onto the sidewalk between us. I smiled slightly, waiting for your reply.
