Winter Wonderland

She raises an eyebrow at me.

"And who exactly are you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing."

"So..." She starts, obviously trying to break the silence.

I cut her off "I find it a bit too much of a coincidence that we're both here on the same day, you're the person who called?"

"I thought you had called."

I was a little surprised, but I gave the most logical answer I had "It appears that someone wanted us to meet up here. Does your family know about this?"

She was quick to respond "Only my sister."

I sighed "You're welcome to stay at my house then, and if anyone else is going through this then they are welcome as well."

"Okay" She then take out her phone and begins texting, as she was doing that I got a familiar feeling that fills me with joy every time I get it.

As she puts away her phone I say "Winter is coming early this year."

"What makes you say that?"

I start to explain, "Sometimes I get a feeling, that feeling will tell me if Winter is coming early or late, and if it's strong enough it'll tell me when. On that note, I'd say Winter will arrive sometime around, late November."

She stays silent for a moment, then speaks up, "I guess I can relate to that. Sorta. I don't know why, but I'm one hundred percent certain that it's going to rain tomorrow.

I scribble my address down on a peice of paper and hand it to her. "Here."

I got up, and left the cafe. When I found my car I stood back and admired it, it was small, but I liked it. I don't know why, but I've always had a fondness for small spaces.

The drive home was uneventful, but that made it peaceful, the only thing keeping me from going through my extensive imagination was the fact that I had to drive. When I got home I parked my car in the driveway rather than the garage, my friends use to get on my back about it all the time until I told them that nobody likes small spaces enough (except maybe clowns) to even want to steal my car. When I got inside I said the first thing on my mind.

"We'll probably have company today."
