“You remind me of someone.”

I spoke as I accepted the bowl of chocolate mousse.

"Really?" he asked. "My hair, my eyes, my voice?"

"No. The fact that you don't like chocolate. Funny, isn't it? I didn't imagine that there are two people in the world who don't like chocolate, and to think I've met both of them!"

He laughed. "Where did you meet this other chocolate-anarchist?"

"At an advertising copywriter's workshop 20 years ago. It wasn't buffet, it was like we're now, getting fixed trays. I was next to him in line. We didn't know each other, but he just put his bowl of chocolate mousse into my plate. Kind of like you did now."

"Advertising copywriter's workshop. 20 years ago. Let me see. Was that at Manipal Hotel on St. Mark's Road?"

My jaw dropped.

He guffawed once more. "So there are NOT two chocolate-haters in this world after all. I retain my uniqueness in this matter, and I'm glad to make your acquaintance for the second time in each of our lives!"

I grinned. "I hope you keep hating chocolate and we keep finding ourselves getting acquainted!"
