A Real Fairy Tale

He sits by himself, eating. She sits at the next table, also by herself. He can't help but notice her. There's this air of confidence about her, something unconscious, yet undeniably compelling.

He finishes his lunch. As he leaves, her umbrella falls. He picks it up and returns it to her. Their eyes meet. She smiles and thanks him. He returns the smile and walks away.

The more steps he takes, the more he feels that he needs to go back and talk to her. There was something special going on. He felt it. If it's lost, it's lost forever.

He calls a friend and insists on buying him lunch as a pretext. They return and sit next to her. He gets to talking with her. She's very friendly and approachable. They have lots of laughs.

She's an air stewardess stopping over in town for a few days. And in one those few days out of an entire year, their paths crossed. It's like something straight out of a movie.

After they've been emailing and chatting and seeing each other for some time, he realizes that she is completely different from anyone he's dated before.

He realizes that he loves her. Enough to want to be with her for the rest of his life.

Maybe fairytale romances can happen in real life after all.

Note: It's not me lah! Don't jump to conclusions!
