The store is about a hundred meters from the building. She couldn't find any parking spots in front of it. Gets out of the car, walks towards the entrance. She got a call the day before saying there was some mail misdelievered to that address. She presses the buzzer and waits for the super to come out.  He needed to pick up his dog at the doggy daycare and buy some fruit at the store. This particular store was pet friendly, so that was the place. He picks out his fruit, pays for It and walks out. Looks to the right, recognizes the car but thinks "it's too well taken care of". Shakes his head and turns left, his dog hadn't pooped yet, so he would have to walk a couple more blocks before going home. Fact: he should have turned right.  That street brought back some memories, but he was used to them.  As they (him and the dog) were walking past a certain building, he sees. And there she was. "Fuck!" He thinks.  She sees them too. Dog goes bananas, after all that's his mom. Female super comes out of the building, hands over her mail and goes back in. She kneels down to hug him (the dog) and is happy to see him. She looks as beautiful as always. "Shit!" He thinks "I'm not even in my best outfit" She stands up, greets him with a half-ass kiss on the cheek and goes "How are you? Are you good?" "I'm good." He says. Looks away. She kneels down again to say good bye to the dog. The end. Who's to say... That same building five years ago was where it all started. How crazy is it to bump into each other at that starting point, but not as lovers, as strangers.

As he grew up and started becoming a man, she grew to resent him. The reasons for the resentment were many. The world had been too harsh on her. The world of Men. She had been taken advantage of too many times, sacrificed too much of herself and her life. Only to have the constant feeling that she amounted to nothing. Got pregnant young, didn’t have a chance to finish college and had to get a job to support two kids: the one growing in her belly and the one who put it there. At times she wondered “Where has it all gone wrong?” that sentence, that creeping feeling haunted her very often. To think that she had all the opportunities anyone could have wanted. She went to good schools, traveled abroad, learned languages, and… fell in love. In her mind, that had been the worst mistake of all. "

It was a dark and stormy night. The loud noise of the water beating down on the ceiling tiles was calming, and at the same time, nerve-wracking. It had been raining for 5 days straight. The sound of thunder disguised her sobbing. She could hear the rain through the boarded-up window. Screaming was useless and she had no energy left, her throat was sore from all the crying and moaning. She hadn't eaten for almost a day and a half...

"David and Emma looked at each other across the table. The young couple were happy: the food was delicious, the light from the candles was soft and the music was perfect. David looked at Emma's beautiful smile. All the pain of his last break-up disappeared. All his doubts and fears about love had gone. His hand reached out and touched hers. 'I want to ask you something.' David searched her eyes. Could she guess what was coming? Her smile made him feel brave. She held his hand. 'Don't worry. Whatever it is, I'll probably say yes!' He felt so excited. He was about to ask the most important question of his life..."
