oh i have a good story but you’ll have to wait for the morning 😏

hmm maybe i’ll bundle two together since they’re thematically close but very different. exciting, i love story time. okay see you in the am (clue: ✈️)

-- 1 -- 9h transatlantic flight, we're holding the plane for a guy who ends up sitting next to me. he's kind of grubby. i see him scope me out, and i signal "meh plz leave me alone" so he does. above an hour before we arrive i play a game of chess on the screen...

and then he starts playing a game on his. i watch a bit and we start talking about it. we must have found things to talk ab, bc when we arrive in oslo for our layover to paris we agree to check out the city. we find an art museum to wander around in, share...

notebooks and thoughts on art. we're communicating in half english half french (my fr is terrible now, don't try w me i'll flounder) and having a good time. he invites me to his city during my trip...

it didn't feel in-the-moment flirty, but by the end we both had curiosity ab the other person that if we'd ended up in the same city smthg would have happened. he kept mechanical diagrams of his inventions in a notebook, so naturally i was 🥵. do his drawings count as flirting?
