I met Jack a year ago in the least romantic way possible: by spilling an entire iced latte all over his neatly stacked paperwork at a coffee shop. I was mortified and already scrambling for napkins when he just chuckled and said, \u201cGuess this is fate telling me to take a break!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh god, I\u2019m so sorry!\u201d I frantically dabbed at the papers. \u201cI swear I\u2019m not usually this clumsy. Well, actually, that\u2019s a lie. I totally am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He laughed, his eyes crinkling at the corners. \u201cThen I better move these other papers before you decide to give them a coffee bath too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We ended up sitting together and talking for hours. He was funny, charming, and refreshingly down-to-earth. He told me he worked in logistics for a small company, and I told him about my marketing job. No flashy moves or no pretense. We just had an easy conversation that made me feel like I\u2019d known him forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d he said, stirring his second coffee, \u201cI usually hate when people spill drinks on me, but I might make an exception this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I raised an eyebrow. \u201cJust this time?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
