"Do you know why I agreed on hanging out with you again?"
"Easy. You like me. I didn't know that it's going to be that quick. Well, I knew I was charming, but I thought you will take more time," and I winked. And that is a habit I would like to cut off.
"You just gave me a reason to walk away."
"No, c'mon I was just kidding. What is it?"
She looked hesitant and a bit annoyed for a while, but then rolled her eyes and continued.
"Along the lines of your 3-hours speech, you mentioned something about starting over. Like shedding your first life behind. And I liked that. How did you feel doing that? To shed an entire life behind with all these problems and people?"
And with that her eyes shimmered. I spotted tears or maybe stars, you never really know when it comes to these eyes. For the first time ever she seemed broken. Did I just spot a weakness in this beautiful spear of strength in front of me? Was she really opening to me?
"The problems are the easiest to shed. I mean, you never really miss these problems after all. And about the people, well, I hadn't much. Actually I hadn't any, I believe.
"You hadn't any?" she looked hurt and nostalgic as she said it. Still capturing.
"No," and I looked away, trying to hide what she just stirred inside me.
"That's sad. But your strength covers up for your misfortune. I admire strength," she said avoiding my eyes and taking a sip of her coffee, reminding me of the setting that I seemed to be unaware of- the coffee shop we first met at. And that also reminded me of my own cup which was too cold now to be called coffee.

She then met my eyes, after she covered every sign of unleashing emotion and went back to that cold, unwavering look. I wonder how painful is that secret she seems to keep. And then those lips made a line.
"Do you want to see something?"
