Now I give you the finale of this short series. Thanks for the awesome ride, people.
She was sitting on the bench again, this time without the infernal coffee that once drove her to insanity. She sighed. It's been a week since their weird conversation on the train. Though she knew her IQ drops to a phenomenal lurch when he was near, she actually liked it when he was around. She sighed again.
She acted against boredom. The coffee perpetrated the whole thing. She wasn't supposed to fall in love. Especially not with a stranger like him.
Hey, wait a minute.
Whoever said she was in love with him?
She sighed for the third time. She scanned the crowd of commuters, hoping to see his familiar form. She wondered how it is possible to miss something she never had. She fought against a sad sigh.
People were already marching to the front, the train had arrived.
She got up, bracing herself to jostle with the throng of commuters when somebody snatched her hand that made her whip around immediately. He was looking down at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. And then his lips crashed down on hers, momentarily blinding her by the impact. His lips moved in a gentle pace making her dizzy and wobbly on her feet.
He reluctantly broke them apart. He smiled. "Hi, I'm Eriol. I believe in soul mates. I like dogs."
"I still don't believe in soul mates but I think I like dogs better than cats now."
He shot her a very pointed look.
She grinned. "My name's Tomoyo."
