Fateful Attraction

“I’m glad you’re here then…” the man said before he started to laugh a little.

I sucked in a breath when his hand reached out and handed me my phone. Did he find my phone? Wow…what a lucky coincidence.

“You found my phone? Wow…thank you! You’ve really saved me…” I said, feeling a mix of surprise and relief.

It would be such a huge hassle to lose my phone not to mention that I didn’t have spare money to buy a new one. I couldn’t wait to get my first paycheck at the end of the month, seriously.

“Must have been fate…” the man said softly as he smiled so gently at me; his light blue eyes seemed to shine, and I couldn’t look away.

Before I could stop myself, I started laughing. My reaction confused the man so much that he stared at me, a little taken aback by my reaction.

“Sorry. I just thought that it was a little funny. I thought it’s such a lucky coincidence that you found my phone…but…you called it fate…” I said as my laughing stopped, and I smiled sweetly back at him.
