Waiting at the Airport

Name: Giulia, 25 Location: Venice
My story:
I was at the airport. Flight delayed.
Across from me, there was a guy.
We didn't speak, but for some reason we kept looking at each other.
It was a strange situation:
same wait
same boredom
same glances
At some point he smiled at me. I smiled back.
It felt like that was enough to start talking.
Then they called the flight.
We both stood up.
And walked in different directions.
How did it end?
We never saw each other again. And for the entire flight I kept thinking — one word would have been enough.
Maybe he was thinking the same thing.
EyeContact exists for exactly this.
