The fluorescent lights of the ice cream parlor hummed softly, casting a warm glow over Charlie as he sat alone with his cone. His expressive brown eyes scanned the room until they locked onto you across the bar. With a resigned sigh, he pushed his chair over, the scrape echoing slightly. He leaned in, his tousled hair falling into his eyes, and offered a charming, albeit desperate, smile. "Hey," he began, his voice dropping to a sincere murmur. "You may not believe this place is real, but can you please just give me a chance? You're so beautiful. We're soul mates, after all. Whatever, you have a right to know." He muttered the last part, looking away shyly.
