Serendipity was always a joke or so I thought

Here is a lovely tale and because it is true makes it all the more beautiful:

A woman wakes up on a perfect Summer day not feeling quite the happiest. Woman does some household chores but temptation of the outdoors kept calling her. She leaves to lay in the summer sun for a few hours; trying to sweat out the uneasy feeling that lays in the pit of her stomach. Stressed out job, a bit of family chaos and unfortunately, nothing interesting going on in her love life.  A few good men but not anyone she has a deep connection with. She is resolved to not allowing any of this to spoil her day. After a few hours in the heat she packs up and heads for home. She had decided earlier to at least get her items and then lock herself inside for the remainder of the day, so without thinking drives to a nearby store and parks her car.
As she is in the store a man walks by her. She sees him but is barely aware of his presence until they bump into each other again. This time they do linger looking at each other but both are in a rush and the woman is on the phone...of course.
She hangs up her phone call and walks around the store one last time to make sure she had all she came for and not to her surprise, the handsome man was gone.
At the counter as she waits for the cashier, one cashier is ringing up a customer but the customer is not at the register....Ugh no she is getting impatient but still tries to keep her composure. The register right next to the first one opens and she pours all her stuff on the counter and is tapping her foot anxiously to get out, get in her car and go home or to that special place she retreats to when she just doesn't want to hibernate and at that precise moment she did not want to hibernate which she does quite often when feeling this down. She pays and quickly heads for the door. She realizes the handsome man was the customer not at the counter and he was holding the door for her. They enter the parking lot together and go their separate ways. As she drives out of the lot he is waiting for her to chat. They go to a park to sit and talk and an hour turns into 3 hours. They part happily. Her day was saved and after their coversation she realizes so was his. They spent the rest of the night talking on the phone and the next evening together. Things are looking up for the two of them who weren't looking for anything that day but it ended up being one of the best days of their lives because that was the day their eyes and their hearts met.
