Imagine an office worker coming home after work. It's been a long day and though the job is bearable it's still work. He's looking forward to a simple but hearty dinner and time to himself until he sleeps and wakes up the next day. He seems like he's walked that same route for years. He walks alone at a steady pace. He doesn't notice the light turn green, he just walks when the vehicles disappear. He sees her, and it is a classic double take; she's talking to someone on her phone and isn't paying attention either. And somehow, she sees him. Those seconds were so long to him; were they the same for her?

She looks down, and a half-smile appears. Time restarts.

She smiled.
