I’ve been thinking about a man I met last week… and I’m pretty sure he’s married.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not the kind of woman who would ever try to steal someone else’s husband. I know better than that.

But still, I can’t seem to stop these daydreams about him. Just imagining what it would be like if he were mine, if life had placed us in different circumstances.

He’s a veteran, and maybe that’s part of it. I’ve always had a soft spot for veterans — the strength, the quiet way they carry themselves. And the way he looked at me last weekend… it wasn’t anything dramatic, but the little things — the way he smiled, the way his eyes found me across the room — it meant more than I can explain.

Especially because, honestly, I have no one.
And sometimes even the smallest moment of feeling seen can stay with you longer than you’d expect.
