meet cute

This is one of the crucial elements for a successful romance novel, they said. The girl and the boy should "meet cute."


Girl attends class. Boring old farts. She was stuck sitting between a stuffy Ambassador and a secretary from Ivory Coast. Both of them eventually dropped out. Then on second week, young cute guy appears, sits next to her.


Well, that's not really a prime example of "meeting cute."


When they exchange cards, they find out they have the same last name. What are the odds?


Maybe they'll just be friends. Maybe there's nothing. Or maybe more.
