Chapitre 5: Chapter 4: An Alluring Crossroad
The Night of a Thousand More
As the night unfolded, it was the eve of Sunday, and the phone call between Simon and Trina crackled with anticipation. Their voices mingled as they deliberated on the ideal location for their impending date. Curiously, they settled upon the very same place where our friendship had initially taken root, although Trina had accompanied Daniel as his date on that fateful day. Puzzled, I wondered why they would choose such a familiar spot. Then it dawned on me—this restaurant held significant meaning for them. It represented their initial meeting, a foundation on which they could build their blossoming connection. Moreover, the restaurant boasted an empty upper floor, providing them the freedom to revel in their date without prying eyes. It was an opportunity for carefree fun, oblivious to the watchful gazes of others.
Once the location was determined, their conversation continued to weave its intricate web. Simon, a 21-year-old still enamored with cartoons, discovered a kindred spirit in Trina. Their shared love for animated wonders sparked a lively discussion, delving into the vast realms of their favorite shows. It was an unexpectedly surreal environment, witnessing two adults passionately recounting the joys of "Barbie" and other animated delights. With every word exchanged, Simon's decision grew increasingly arduous. The answer that seemed so clear before now shimmered with uncertainty. He had already invested time and emotion into his current relationship, and to cast it aside for fleeting moments of happiness and late-night calls weighed heavily upon him. Yet, this newfound connection with Trina presented an entirely different challenge. His girlfriend had never shared his fondness for cartoons, and he had concealed that part of himself from her, never daring to reveal his true passion. But now, here was a girl, beautiful and attentive, who not only accepted his love for animated worlds but surpassed it with her own fervor. Simon, who had never been a believer in soul mates or the concept of "the one," couldn't help but wonder if he had stumbled upon something extraordinary.
After their five-hour conversation concluded, Simon's girlfriend called mere minutes later. As they exchanged greetings, the all-too-familiar lull settled upon their conversation, leaving them with little to say. The call was brief, lasting a mere half-hour. The path ahead for Simon became abundantly clear. He knew what he must do. With newfound determination, he meticulously prepared for his upcoming date. From meticulously cleaning his shoes to meticulously ironing his carefully chosen shirt, reserved solely for this special occasion, Simon's excitement soared to unprecedented heights. Confidence had always been his steadfast ally, but now, nerves fluttered within him like a hummingbird's delicate wings. This date with Trina had the power to ignite a whirlwind of emotions unlike anything he had experienced before. As the final touches were made, he retired early, eager to rise punctually the next morning. Being prompt would undoubtedly make a lasting first impression.
