Outside the air was crisp, it was winter after all.
But this surprised Marc.
The students were out, a seasonal boost to the population. They were in pairs or groups swaying and laughing.
Marc Love. He thought.
"Marc Love" He said out loud.
"What was that?" A man was sort of walking towards him.
"Oh, sorry nothing."
"What did you say? Sorry I had my headphones in." The man removes an ear bud.
"Its a podcast, I know you didn't ask, but its really interesting, you like design? Or like art kind of. I think honestly anyone would find this interesting."
"Oh, ahh. I was just going home."
"Yeah I understand we'e all going somewhere." The man said and stared at Marc.
Normally he would be on guard, but this guy seemed earnest.
"What's your name?" Marc asked.
"Matt, nice to meet you, and whats yours?"
"Marc."
"Woah that's crazy, two M names bumping into one another." Matt chuckled.
"Yeah, uh."
"You look familiar, have I seen you some where?"
Marc felt a flash of anxiety, then shifted his stance, ready for something.
" ! Thats it. You work the sandwich counter some nights."
"Wow, what a coincidence, I'll get one tomorrow I think. Okay, I better be going, gotta finish my walk, gotta reach 10,000 steps today. Have a good one Marc."
"You too." Marc said after the man as he took off down the street.
