A surprise visitor

Eden had been coming to the diner every day for almost five years. She didn't quite know why she kept coming back to it, she has just never been able to find another place that gave her that sense of comfort and security. Today was a day like any other so why would today be the day that Eden's whole life changed?

It started with the ringing of the bell and the slow, but steady footsteps of someone walking into the diner. Normally Eden would just go about her business and not even look up, but today was different. She turned around and looked at the man who had just walked in. He was tall, had dark hair and something quite mysterious about him. He had his back turned towards her, but then he suddenly turned around and looked right at her, as if he knew she was watching or that she would be there. He smiled.

The man started walking towards her and the way he walked revealed that he was someone who had a great deal of confidence. Eden braced herself and quickly wiped some of the crumbs off the table. The man had now reached her table and was standing right beside her. Eden looked up at him and she couldn't help but smile. There was this sense of familiarity about him, had she seen him before?

"You don't remember me, do you?" He said.
"Actually," Eden said, "I think I do. But I can't seem to remember. Would you mind joining me?"
"There's nothing that I would rather do", he said, and now both of them were smiling at each other.

It was as if no time had passed at all.
