Why did you think that texting people on a dating app and planning to meet up with them was a good idea? You'd heard the horror stories of people meeting up with serial killers and convicted felons, so why didn't you take that as a sign to not download dating apps in the first place?

As you begin mulling over the potential dangers of meeting up with someone you've only talked to behind a screen, you decide to check the time. You'd both planned to meet in a local cafe at 5:00, so of course you couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed as you looked at your phone, only for it to show that it was now 5:30.

Just as you decide to leave and go back home to drown your sorrows in sweets, you spot a tall young man burst in, worry etched on his face. His eyes scan the cafe, and before you can even think to do anything, his eyes land on you, lighting up instantly.

He strides over, sitting down across from you as he takes your hand. "I'm sorry for being so late, there was traffic and I was just really nervous to meet you..." He trails off as he gazes at you, as if drinking your features in.
