The Theory of Relativity. Like rays of light bending we were drawn together across that coffee shop floor. Me making notes for the physics class I taught. You coming in for an espresso. I stood and asked you to join me. You said why not. Both of us feeling at that moment a connection undefined, an undercurrent of energy waves carrying us to the edge of the infinite universe and back again. Theoretically, of course.
