She didn't seem that excited when I asked for her number... but we talked, went on a few hikes, shared a few meals. But it was pretty obvious: she just was not that interested.

We talked for hours that night. I was all nerves though, and didn’t say a word the rest of the weekend- which left both of us asking “was that all just a dream?”

It may have been—but it actually happened too.
