It’s just a cup of coffee, after all

Anna looked at the man in front of her, hesitating slightly. Colin—she felt like she had heard that name somewhere before.

In life, you meet countless people, most of whom eventually just pass by.

Since she couldn't remember him right away, this so-called Colin was clearly one of those people Anna had categorized as a passerby.

Anna asked herself if she would hesitate if she heard the name Ryan instead. The answer was obvious: no. Not now, not ever. Even decades from now, that name would still carry the same weight in her heart.

"I used to live next door to you when we were kids. Remember?"

The man, noticing Anna didn't recognize him, felt a bit awkward. But then he laughed a few times, trying to jog her memory.

He had only seen her from behind earlier, but now that he was standing right in front of her, his guess was confirmed.

It really was Anna. And now... she was absolutely stunning.
