Anjali hurried out of the café, her mind lost in thoughts. Minutes later, Arjun found a red scarf on the chair she’d left behind.

He dashed outside, spotting her at the bus stop. “Hey! You forgot this!”

Anjali turned, her eyes widening. “Oh… thank you!”

“Wait… weren’t you the one who left a book on the metro last month?” Arjun asked, recalling her face.

Anjali laughed. “Seems I have a habit of leaving things behind.”

“Well,” Arjun smiled, “maybe fate keeps giving me reasons to meet you.”

She blushed as the bus arrived. Turning back, she waved. “Next time… coffee?”

Arjun grinned. “I’ll make sure you forget your wallet too.”
