     "Hello." A voice to the right of me spoke abruptly, startling me.

     "Hi." I spoke softly, not sure who the man was, his blue eyes gazing at me deeply.

     "What's your name?" He asked me as he sat down in the seat next to me. He held an apple in his hand and bit into it with a loud crunch.

     "Caroline." I spoke with a smile. "And yours?"

     "Nick." He grinned as he extended a hand, and resistantly I took it in my own with a firm handshake.

     "You must be knew here?" I asked him, already knowing the answer.

     "That I am." He spoke as he took another bite from his apple, chewing it softly. "I was looking for a lovely lady to make my acquaintance, but I believe I've found more than just that."

     He stood from the seat, throwing the apple into the trash can behind where we sat as he turned back to me, "I'll see you around I suppose, Caroline. I hope to, anyway."

     "You too, Nick."
