**Page 7**

With a mix of nervousness and excitement, Josh approached the woman, determined to seize the moment.

**Josh:** *(smiling)* Hi there, I couldn't help but notice your smile from afar. I'm Josh. What's your name?

Roxanne's own smile grew warmer as she replied.

**Roxanne:** *(grinning)* Hi, Josh. I'm Roxanne Ramirez. Nice to meet you.

Josh, his heart pounding, knew he couldn't let this opportunity slip through his fingers.

**Josh:** *(confident)* Roxanne, you seem like someone I'd love to get to know better. Would you be interested in having dinner with me sometime?

Roxanne's eyes sparkled with intrigue, and she nodded.

**Roxanne:** *(playful)* Well, I do love food. Sure, why not?

Josh couldn't hide his delight. He decided to take the plunge.

**Josh:** *(hopeful)* Great! Can I get your number so we can plan it?

Roxanne, ever the witty conversationalist, replied with a smirk.

**Roxanne:** *(teasing)* You know, Josh, they say you should never give your number to a stranger you meet on a motorcycle.

Josh chuckled, realizing he needed to make a better impression.

**Josh:** *(grinning)* Fair point. How about this, Roxanne? I'll give you my number instead, and if you decide I'm not a stranger, you can text me.

Roxanne agreed, and Josh handed her his phone to input her number. As they exchanged contact information, the anticipation of their upcoming dinner lingered in the air.

**Josh:** *(curious)* So, Roxanne, where do you live?

**Roxanne:** *(thoughtful)* I live in Poblacion 3. It's not too far from here.

Josh nodded, making a mental note of the location.

**Josh:** *(enthusiastic)* Perfect. I live in FVR. It's not too far either.

As they chatted and shared a few laughs, it became clear that their chance encounter had a touch of serendipity to it. With dinner plans in the works and contact information exchanged, Josh and Roxanne parted ways with a sense of excitement, both eager to see where this unexpected meeting might lead.
