Awkward Meetings

For Fandango’s Story Starter Prompt

A sizzling party,

His friends had said,

Perfect for he turns thirty,

So he could stay ahead.

It was settled then,

He entered the birthday bash,

One look at her again,

All memories were back in a flash.

Feeling silence in the chaos,

They still had the appeal,

Why did it not stay on?

It was a broken seal.

Exchanging few pleasantries,

He inquired of her well-being,

Looking calm and moved on,

She seemed like a different dream.
