Tess wasn't sure what was happening between them, but decided to take a chance.
Tess's lips slowed curved into a tentative smile, hoping to convey her interest in reconnecting with this enigmatic stranger.

The familiarity he seemed to possess, the way he appeared to be hiding secrets behind his piercing eyes...it all felt like a puzzle Tess was still trying to decipher. She smiled again, her mind racing with possibilities, and asked, "Do you want to grab coffee with me?"
