"Hello, again!"
Leah blinked and saw the same person she saw in the park.
"Hi!" she answered, surprised.
She then turned around and noticed all of the popcorn scattered all over the floor.
"I'm sorry," said the man, "I'll buy you another."
"No! It's alright, I really don't want popcorn!" Leah answered.
Leah spoke too late, for the man already gave his order.
"So, I didn't get your name…"he trailed off.
"…Leah" she completed his sentence.
"Leah- nice name!" he said. "Mine's Nathan. Nathan Adams."
"Hi, Nathan. Thank you for the popcorn."
"No problem," he replied, while handing her the popcorn.
Leah smiled at him, suddenly noticing that he had blue- green eyes.
"Okay, then, Good night! Bye!" he said, and walked in another direction.
Leah searched for a room that was playing the movie she had planned to see.
Upon finding it, she entered the room and found a seat.
"Nathan… that's a nice name." she said to herself.
Suddenly, she got goose-bumps. It was as if she had indirectly witnessed a divine presence outlining her fate. She knew, somehow she felt, that she'll see Nathan again.
Leah looked nervously around the campus. No one in the area resembled Sherry.
'She said that she'll be here,' Leah thought, 'Where is she now?'
While waiting, she quickly took out a miniature mirror from her handbag and glanced at her reflection. Suddenly, a shadow blocked the sun light. Leah turned around only to see…
"ETHAN!" Leah shouted. She looked around herself and blushed. People were staring at her.
"Hello, Leah," Ethan said quietly. He was smiling.
"I've missed you," Leah said to him. She walked closer to him as though intending to give him a kiss.
"I have felt the same." He said. Leah looked at him and took another step forward. They were very close. The area around them seemed like a blur to Leah. The voices and all the noise dissolved into nothingness as she beheld his presence.
"I love you- don't leave me again" Leah told him. However, as she leaned forward, Ethan stepped away.
"I must return home" he said sadly.
"I thought you came to see me!" Leah shouted.
"I'll love you until angels close my eyes, Leah!" Ethan then turned and walked away. Leah ran after him, in an attempt to catch him- but it was useless.
"I thought you loved me, Ethan!" Leah shouted as she woke up from her sleep. Leah then noticed that she was in her room sleeping on her bed.
"What time is it?" she asked herself as she bent over her bed and reached out for the clock. It read 2: 00 am.
"I should go back to sleep," she said to herself. She then turned around and flopped back into her bed- only to realize that her pillow cover was wet. She had been crying in her sleep.
