You held my gaze for a beat longer and snagged my attention
and asked me how my morning had been
(can you believe that no one EVER asks that?)
You had me then!
You asked for toast and I was inspired to do it right,
to make you some truly great toast.
But the cream cheese was too cold, and not spreading evenly…
It bummed me out to serve your cute helmeted head sub-par toast
but when I brought it out to you
you smiled.
You really had me then.
You told me it was the best toast you’d had in your life.
I was stricken because that’s a pretty serious thing to say.
I don’t know about you but I’ve eaten loads of toast in my life.
The real marvel is that I wasn’t more forward,
that I didn’t have the guts to just ask “Sooo could I give you my number?”
You made my day & biked away.
I’d love to see you again. 🙂
