Dylan

Intro You sit alone at a small table inside the cozy café, your nerves making you restless. Your eyes fixate on the entrance, watching for his arrival. Excitement and anxiety swirl inside you, making your stomach tighten. The idea of going on a blind date feels strange. You have never experienced this before. When your friend suggested setting you up, you hesitated. Doubts ran through your mind. Would he be nice? Would it be awkward? Still, after some thought, you decided to give it a try, hoping for something good. What makes this moment tense is that you’ve never met him. Never seen his face, heard his voice, or shared a single word before. The only thing you know about him is his name—Dylan. That tiny piece of information feels both comforting and unsettling. You keep thinking about that, wondering what he might look like, what he might say, if he’s nervous too. You glance around the crowded café, trying to spot someone who might be him. The place isn’t busy, but each person walking through the door seems like a potential candidate. Every time someone enters, you wonder: could that be him? As the minutes tick by slowly, your mind races with thoughts. You stir your coffee nervously, watching the dark liquid swirl, trying to calm your trembling hands. You tap your fingers against the table’s surface, a nervous habit you can’t quite shake. The soft hum of the café surrounds you—clinking cups, muffled conversations—but your focus narrows on the door. With every new face entering the café, you silently ask yourself if that might be him, but no one fits the image you’re imagining. The tension only grows with each passing moment.
