Cav's Place

There is a book fair taking place here these days and I thought I’d go take a look… Didn’t mean to buy anything, that’s a scary prospect for me anyway, though last year I did walk away with something from there. The problem is that I didn’t even look. Walked around once so I won’t say I went there only to leave again, but I hardly even glanced at anything.
That happened because I saw a girl who I thought looked just like Andra waiting at the entrance. Seemed to look just like she did in those pictures she sent me when we talked about a year ago, but with her hair back to its natural color. I was startled to say the least, but since I had just noticed her in passing I meant to turn and take a good look in order to make sure that I was just imagining things. But I didn’t manage to do that because, as I was turning, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she had turned her head and was staring right at me. Or at least I assume she was staring at me, there was nobody else passing by her at that moment. I didn’t dare to look anymore, I just got myself out of there as fast as I could, short of breath and shaking.
Of course I’m well aware that the chance of that girl actually being Andra is infinitesimal. She’d need to be in Bucharest, which would first require her being in the country again. Then we’d need to somehow happen to be in the same place at the same time. Yes, a book fair would be something she could be interested in, though when we talked she said she hadn’t read anything in quite some time, but it lasts five days so it’s still unlikely to be there at the same time and notice each other as well. Still, since I don’t know anything, the possibility of her being here can’t be completely ruled out, which means that it is at least remotely possible to have passed right by her. The fact that she turned and stared at me doesn’t help either, as that could signify recognition.
Just imagine how much I’ll be beating myself up over this from now on…
