Kevin, unaware of Mia's thoughts, stood nearby, inhaling her enticing scent and feeling a flood of thoughts in his mind. He knew that once the shoe was repaired, he would have no excuse to stay with Mia. He needed to leave a lasting impression on her during this precious time. However, facing his dream woman, he found himself at a loss for words. Besides the knowledge that she had been married for three years and had no children, he knew almost nothing about her, not even her hobbies. As time ticked by, Kevin struggled to think of how to start a conversation with Mia.
Finally, it was Mia who broke the silence, perhaps finding it awkward to sit quietly. She looked up and asked Kevin, "Do you usually ride your bike to school?"
"Oh, no, I usually walk to school. My house is close." Kevin quickly replied, feeling a surge of joy. Mia initiating a conversation meant his efforts were worthwhile.
