precious seconds

Imagine:

You walk into an ATM booth. Just as you step in, the man in the adjacent booth turns to leave. He pushes the door handle, you insert your card. Your eyes never met. You couldn't pick each other out of a line up. Never see each other again.

What if:

That was your soul mate.
That was your meet-cute.
Your chance at eternal happiness.
Now, you have to settle.. like the rest of us.
