It had been ten years since they'd last seen each other. They were childhood friends, inseparable until Emre's family moved away. Ayşe had been his partner in adventure, his confidante.
The barista, noticing Emre's curiosity, smiled knowingly. "That's Ayşe," she said. "She's been coming here for years, always sitting by the window."

"Kismetse olur," Ayşe would whisper, smiling at Emre. "It happened by fate."
