pure chance

After working in my current job for about one year one of my workmates asked where specifically I lived in the county that I am from and I told him. He asked if it was near another village and I said it’s right beside my village. He said his friend was from there and he asked if I knew her but I never heard of her or her family. I had just broken up with my boyfriend who I had been living with and was looking for a room in a house the following week, I rang some numbers and when I rang one the name in the voicemail was really familiar but I didn’t realise why and thought nothing of it – it didn’t connect at the time and I booked a time to see the room. One male and one female lived in the house and the male one answered the door and showed me around downstairs. He asked where I was from and when I said he said the girl lives near their too and the name clicked into place. He showed me upstairs and there she was and she straight away asked where I worked and realised we both knew my workmate. It was really weird because we both live three hours away from home in another county and city and had ended up meeting there even though we are only ten minutes away from each other at home.
