Katie carefully watches him from her seat, located just outside some quaint café at the street corner. A few tables in front of her, sat the man she was sure she'd never see again. But after the attack on New York, she knew she had to do everything in her power find him.

It's funny how things turned out. She wanted to thank her lucky stars, but even this seemed too coincidental for that.

She was sure it was him, she'd remember that face, even when it's on a different body. Sure it wasn't the lanky boy she fell in love with, but she always felt that this body suits the determined look he had in his eyes, more than his small body did.

Katie found him visiting this café several times a week, he usually sits alone, doodling something on a piece of napkin, ignoring the waitress's constant attempts at flirting with him. I guess not a lot has changed then, Katie thought, taking another sip of her tea.

She's not quite sure how long she'd been sat at the same spot, or how often she sat on the same spot. She wished she knew how to approach him, but even back then, she didn't know how. She would always stumble over her rehearsed words, and then end up swallowing them back down before he could notice her approaching him. It was always like that.

But now, she really has to do this, if she wanted him back.

Taking a few deep breaths, she stands up and straightens out her skirt, preparing herself. But before she could make a bee line for his spot, she was surprised to find the seat he just occupied empty, his money already left at the table for the waitress to collect. And just like that, he was gone, again.

One of these days, Katie thought, one of these days we'll be together again.


A/N I sure you probably noticed the change between the two chapters. I know it sounds ambitious, but I wanted to give insight to Katie's past as I told the story, and I didn't want to just describe it because there's far too much to cover. You'll know it's Katie's past when the chapter is in First Person POV, and it'll be the main story when it's on Third Person POV.
