The phone vibrated in Emily's hand. "I'm here!" the text read. She felt a lightness, a joyous lifting inside her. She ran out the door to meet him. She practically sprinted to the address, her feet barely touching the ground.

A charmingly handsome man stood in front of the building's entrance. He looked up and saw her. He began walking toward her, smiling. The door next to him opened, and another woman walked out.

“Oh, you're the Emily he mentioned!" the other woman said, looking at him with a confused but hopeful expression.

“You too?” he asked, a look of bewilderment spreading across his face.
