I met him by chance, among the many gathered at the corner market.
I went every week to pick the fruit, meat, and vegetables that were displayed there.
He caught my eye this one, so tall and exquisite to gaze upon.
Our eyes met, and it took everything in me to look away.
I busied myself, playing with the produce, what I fool I was. To think such a creature would look at me.
And as I was lost in thought, by some miracle we picked up the same fruit.
It was a succulent red berry called K' akini. They produced it here in abundance.
It was also known to be a passion fruit. And that moment when our hands brushed together, I knew.
That our paths would cross again. Destiny would claim us and we would not wait long for it to be fulfilled.
