Reporting what somebody said - A Date for Life

 My best friend was moving back to Colombia. He called me and asked if we could meet up to reminisce about old times. I told him I was delighted, but that I was meeting up with my best friend, and that it was okay if I went with her. He told me it was fine; on the contrary, he liked the idea of ​​making more friends. It was a sunny afternoon, and we decided to meet up. Sofía and I walked into a small café downtown. As she was taking off her coat, she saw a handsome man walk in. I told her, “Look, my friend has arrived.” She immediately smiled.

Daniel happily hugged me tightly, and then I introduced him to Sofía.

She extended her hand and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly; I immediately understood that a certain affection had developed between them.

We sat together and began reminiscing about old times. At one point, Daniel looked at me and said, “I didn't know you had such a beautiful friend.”

Sofia looked at me, smiled, and replied, "I didn't know you had such a handsome friend either."

Later, I made an excuse to leave the two of them alone so they could get to know each other better, because I realized I was unnecessary.

The next day, Sofía called me and said,

"Daniel asked for my number and said he'd love to meet me," she recounted excitedly.

He also told me that she'd responded that she was delighted, as she'd felt a very strong connection with him.

I smiled and asked her when and where their next date would be.

Sofía replied that they had agreed to meet on Saturday. "He invited me to dinner this weekend," she said, excited.

Afterward, I called Daniel, and he, equally excited, told me the same story.

And so, what began as a casual encounter became the beginning of a lifelong love story. Sometime later, they got married, and of course, I was the matron of honor.
