It was Friday, so after work she and her co-worker headed to the nearby bar for Happy Hour.
This meant that because they were women the first two beers were free. For the guys it was buy one get one free.
Amidst the clamor of people talking, the shuffling of feet, the clinking of glasses and the music, she stood very closely to the young man she was talking to so she could hear what he was saying.
First she noticed a certain glow in his eyes, then the finely chiseled symmetry of his face and then there was that subtle lilt in his voice.
As she looked at him, she was absolutely certain that he was the one.
After she finished her third beer, she took the cellphone out of her bag and called her boyfriend.
She told him that she was breaking off with him and that this time it was for good, because she said ‘I have just found the man of my dreams’.
As she put the phone back into her bag and turned around, the young man was gone.
