Honest reactions

I love honest reactions. Everyone is always hiding behind a mask. Even myself, who I consider one of the most "this is what i am" people existing around, has a thin mask.

But every once in a while, there comes a situation where masks are all off. Usually because of surprise.

I bumped into an ex.. how shall we say it? Fwb but not exactly.
While on a date. actually not really. more like a meetup.

a girl you've been with before comes along in the opposite direction with her gal pal, sees you with another girl (who i see as more of just a friend than anything. still, its a girl.)

your eyes meet. the moment of recognition from both sides. you would think a moment awkward as fk is coming.

honest reactions happen.

i point at her (not the rude pointing way, just the omg its u pointing way.) and start laughing. she automatically mirrors me and we share a moment of connection. That's the only way to put it, connection. It didn't feel like anything in particular, no love, no feelings, but i felt connected.

She doesn't say anything either, just gives me a knowing look, and i wink at her.

Maybe its time to get together again. I forgot how much i missed those sparkling eyes of laughter. Maybe it was just the moment, but she looked much prettier than i remember. and she always looked like a splitting image of my first love.
