--- Chapter Six ---
The beginning
was not extraordinary.
Just two strangers
standing at the edge of something
neither of us understood yet.
Mostly,
it was good mornings.
How are you?
Have you eaten?
Ordinary messages
between two people
still trying to understand
why the conversation
continued.
And every few days,
he would ask,
Can I have your number?
I would always
change the topic,
thinking
it was too early.
The conversation
did not stop.
And sometimes
that is how a story quietly continues —
not with fireworks,
but with someone
who keeps showing up.
