Missed Connections & Hefeweizen
So I went to Toit today around 8:30 PM.
Started the evening at the bar counter on the first floor with a Hefeweizen. Just settling into the vibe when a girl walked in with a friend. Sleeveless black top, off-white trousers.
What caught my attention wasn't the outfit though.
It was her eyes.
And that smile.
We exchanged eye contact while she was waiting for her order at the counter. One of those moments where you wonder if you're imagining it or if it actually happened.
Later she moved to a table near the smoking zone. When I went for my second beer, somehow we ended up standing next to each other again. She was ordering food—pretty sure it was a pizza, but I wasn't exactly focused on the menu.
Eventually I got a table diagonally opposite hers. More eye contact. More smiles. More convincing myself that I should just walk over and say hi.
But there was a guy with her.
So naturally, I spent the next hour assuming he was her boyfriend and doing absolutely nothing about it.
Although, and maybe this is the beer talking, I'm still not entirely convinced he was.
Anyway, she finished her beer, finished her pizza, and left.
To the girl in the black top with the beautiful eyes and effortless smile—if by some miracle you read this, I owe you a hello that should've happened tonight.
Can't write by my own, had too many beers.
