WHEN I WAS 7 YEARS OLD, I CRIED AND SAID I WAS GOING TO MARRY MY NEIGHBOR. I WENT TO A JOB INTERVIEW 15 YEARS LATER — THE GENERAL MANAGER LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED: ‘THE GENERAL MANAGER… DID YOU APPLY TO BE HIS WIFE?

For a long time.

It’s so long that I’m starting to feel uncomfortable.

Then he suddenly smiled.

That smile squeezed my heart.

And said in a slightly sarcastic but deep tone:

“The general manager… Did you apply to be his wife?”

The air in the room suddenly froze.

I felt like the world had stopped.

I looked at him carefully. There was no longer any doubt. That smile, the way he tilted his head slightly to the side… It was him.
