It was on a Tuesday morning that I had butterflies in my stomach. Definitely nervous although I had prepared everything that should be prepared. As I walked through the hallway, searching for his office, there was only one room that had a door opened. I peeked and there he was. He glanced over his shoulder and asked if I was the person who wanted to meet him. I nodded and he welcomed me. I took a seat and waited for him to settle as I came a few minutes early. I took the opportunity to observe his office while I wait. There was an apple on his table with a tumbler which I assumed contained coffee. Since the apple was untouched, I expected that he got to the office early to have breakfast in his office. So now I felt guilty for coming too early. His bag and was neatly placed on the table, he seemed neat. We talked. I noticed that he was trying to calm me down by letting me talk more which did help. As he was talking, I realised he was very passionate about his research which I find very admirable and at that moment I knew it was coup de foudre. Unfortunately the feelings were not mutual and of course I had to move on. That was the end of it.
I hope you enjoyed this short fiction.
