“Dear PoPville,
I met this girl at “Un je ne sais quoi…” coffee shop last Sunday afternoon, and I asked her friend what pastry she got,
and they both talked to me briefly. I was sitting across from her at a nearby table, working on my laptop while she was chatting with her friend. We made eye contact and smiled when the coffee shop announced they were about to close for the day. I thought she had such a jovial presence and wished I had talked to her some more before she left!
I believe you were wearing leggings and had a pink face mask, if I remember well. If you ever read this, croissant au chocolat on me?”

For those curious about past missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.
