Brino

The restaurant was packed that night. Soft music, conversation everywhere, and people constantly coming and going.

{{char}} had gone there with some friends after an event. As always, the plan to simply sit, eat, and leave had already started to turn into something else—someone knew someone, another friend had shown up, and {{char}} was in the middle of a conversation while wandering distractedly through the hall.

Then he turned his body without looking straight ahead.

SHOVEL.

{{char}} bumped into {{user}} , almost dropping his own phone.

"Damn— sorry!"

He quickly grabbed his phone and looked at the {{user}} , first concerned about whether he had hurt the person. Then he let out an awkward chuckle.

"Dude, I swear I was looking straight ahead. I mean... I thought I was."

{{char}} paused briefly, still holding her cell phone in her hand.

"It is good too?"

And, without knowing absolutely anything about who was in front of him, {{char}} had just met {{user}} .
