There was a mild tap on his door and he knew it was her. Just the prospect of seeing her somehow made him happy from within in a weird way. He himself didn't know in what twisted way his fate was playing with him and his emotions.
He knew it wasn't her. So not her. But just the thought of seeing that face again, made him feel alive. His fate was twisted, and somehow he was twisting it even further.

"Hi."
