chance encounter

9.

"Thank you so much! If we have the chance to meet again, I'll treat you to a meal!"
I'm a little nervous.
This should be considered my first time approaching a stranger in my life.

The romantic notion of sharing a roof and sheltering from the rain on a rainy day has probably long since faded from my youthful memories. From now on, perhaps this chance encounter in the park will take its place.

"Well...may we meet again someday~"
The other person paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded at me.

Realizing that it might be hopeless, I composed myself, smiled, said goodbye, and closed the car door.
The car drove away quickly.
I turned around and went into the client's company.
