It was him who first pushed his fingers through the gaps between hers: a demonstration. This is fine, this is okay.

He enjoyed the flush on her cheeks and it was a victory when she pulled his hand towards herself.

He led by example. The first kiss, the first whisper. She followed and he let the thrill pull them. A kiss on the escalator for all the world to see. A lick on the ear that he didn't expect, in the cinema with hundreds of eyes glued to the brightness of the screen.

He poked and she would always respond.

The first time he saw her at the library, it was a coincidence.

The second time he saw her stopping by the Yakult vending machine in front of the library, he understood that coincidences are only a means for opportunity. He walked up to her and bought himself a grape drink, curiosity piqued. She said grape was the only one she hasn't tried.

The third time, he gave her the last flavor. She said now she had to treat him at Old Chiang Kee in return.

He smiled and wondered what she'd get him on the fourth time.

"I love watching you eat. Food brings out the best in you."

Every compliment given reminds her that he probably, actually hates her.

"Let's go to the library and proofread my paper. In exchange, I'll buy milk tea."

He knew her well and left no room for suspicions.

"Do you want to watch The Red Baron on Thursday? I remember you're super into war stuff."

Even the details she expected him to forget were remembered.

"I'm not...I don't want this to be serious."

In the end she thought she deserved an award for her poker face. "Yeah, me too."

She returned his greetings with a wave. He sounded so sure they knew each other but she couldn't remember his face, or his name. Nobody introduced him either, because everyone but her believed that they were old friends.

Old friends where? From university back home? Was it a club, a class? Was she going senile, or has she contracted a new illness that she absolutely could not remember him?

A chuckle pulled her back to reality. When did he move beside her? This guy is either a ghost, or a stalker.

"It's Luis. We used to be neighbors."
