• “Listen.”
    “…..”
    “I think we should-“
    “Stop.”
    “Just stop.”
    “We….”
    “I know. We can’t. Not like this.”
    “I’m sorry.”

    “You know the first thing about you I fell in love with?”
    “I remember. It was my smile.”
    “No. That was very close though.”
    “…”

    “You remember our first date?”
    “We went to that Italian place.”
    “Hmhm….”
    “What?”
    “It’s nothing. It’s just. I guess that was our first date.”
    “Yeah. You said it took all week to build the courage to ask me out.”
    “Yeah. It’s just… whenever I think about it….do you remember that time I asked you if you wanted to get lunch?”
    “Which time?
    “The first time. I didn’t have much money. And it wasn’t anything official in any way. But thats what I always think about as our first date. We walked to that little place. I don’t remember what we ate. I know you were sitting across from me though.”
    “I remember.”
    “As we were walking out…. I held the door for you.”
    “…”
    “When you passed by me…. I caught a hint of your scent. It was just barely there, but I noticed it, and it stuck with me. So strongly.”
    “I don’t even remember what it was….haha…ha.”
    “Yeah, I wouldn’t expect you to. It was a completely insignificant day. It meant nothing to anyone.”
    “It wasn’t-“
    “But that was the day. That was the day. That was the first thing.”
    “I….”
    “It was just your scent.”
