"I thought you were doing volunteer work in Palestine," I said as I looked at the man in front of me who was pouring red wine into my glass.

I saw him chuckle. "Did you miss me?" he asked in a joking tone.

"Are you crazy?" I joked with a chuckle, "I was just wondering how you could be in the same building as me, it's such a strange coincidence. It's more like you're stalking me."

I don't know if it's just me or what, but I caught a glimpse of tension on Samuel's face. I thought maybe he felt uncomfortable because my words seemed to be accusing him, even though I was just joking.

I couldn't help but chuckle. "No, I'm not. I'm not worrying about you at all,"
