We belted out “Don’t Stop Believin’” as strangers but sang like old friends. You toasted me with soju and then your group left in a cab. If you want to duet again, I’ll save your seat!

You bumped into me as the crowd surged, espresso flying onto your blazer. You smiled, said, “Just another Monday,” and disappeared into the sea of commuters. Can I buy you a new coffee (and maybe dry cleaning)?
