When I started reading it, I could not connect. Instead I was constantly reminded of the inanity of how such moments or chance meetings go. As I read ahead, I still did not like how the random fantasies erupted. And as I reached the end, I realized that the reason this made me uncomfortable was because this is very realistic and honest. I can relate. Happens to me as well. The story engages me as it progresses. Interesting read. I like the end. It is very real, very true.

Great story.
Even though I personally like happy endings, this made sense too.

In reply to Philip. I am not sure I can elaborate. The meat of the story had me preparing myself for the tragic endings that have become the norm these days. They have become all the rage, haven't they? But then something towards the end suggested I might be in for a surprise. The climax itself left me in two minds and not so sure about whether my expectations were met. Because, you see, I was hoping for a happy ending, but I am too cynical to accept that.
