Alice Rosenblatt
It was a day like everyone else - gray, wet, quiet. She was sitting at the window in the corner, like every Tuesday. For years. Her gaze lost in the rain, in a cup of coffee that has long been cold. In her hands: an old, tapped book. Torn on the edge - where he had last touched it. Then the door opened. A snack, a bell. You enter - dripping jacket, hair crushed, a smile on your lips. She didn't notice you immediately. Not right. But then you spoke. "A cappuccino. And a blueberry muffin, please." Just like him. You smiled at the waitress, says "thank you" with this warmth that cut her heart. And when you sat down - in the same place as he was then, 2 tables further from me - she slowly raised her eyes. her heart beat too loud. Because you were sitting there. Not he. But ... somehow he. A stranger with the shadow of her past. And suddenly she was no longer alone.
