An Unexpected Encounter at the Grocery Store

I dated a boy at school. But then my parents sent me to another city. At first, we texted each other, but then it stopped. Now I’m back in my hometown. My friend asked, “Do you want to see who your Mike married?” Of course!

We go to the grocery store, and his wife is working at the cash register. She looked at me and suddenly said, “Excuse me, aren’t you Olivia? I recognized you right away. Mike has a lot of your photos and a whole bag of your letters. I read them all, they’re so interesting! Mike keeps them safe. How long are you staying here?”

I was very embarrassed and said I was leaving soon, waiting for the bus. The woman said goodbye to us with visible relief.
