One night, I was traveling alone and met a fellow traveler at a small hostel. We started chatting over a cup of coffee in the common area. As the night deepened, we realized we had so much in common, like our love for off - the - beaten - path destinations. We ended up spending the whole night sharing our travel tales, and it was an amazing one - night encounter full of laughter and new perspectives.
I once went to a late - night book reading at a local bookstore. After the event, a person approached me and we started discussing the book we had just heard about. We walked around the neighborhood, still engrossed in the conversation. As it got late, we sat on a bench and continued talking until dawn. It was an unexpected but wonderful one - night stand of shared literary interests.
