When We First Met

We were both on holiday in Greece that summer, completely by chance. Two strangers from different parts of the world, unknowingly choosing the same island, the same week, the same small beach taverna for dinner.

It wasn’t anything planned or dramatic. Just a mix-up with tables and a friendly waiter who thought we were together. We laughed, started talking, and ended up sharing that meal anyway. The conversation flowed with surprising ease. It felt like we were catching up, not meeting for the first time.

That unexpected evening turned into a long walk by the sea, and something about it stayed with us. Looking back, it was one of those moments that seemed small at the time but quietly changes everything.
