Summary
Analysis
Daniel's headline reads that he "chose poorly." He admits to the reader that he rescheduled his interview for later, though the receptionist said she needed to reschedule it anyway. Now, he sits in the lobby and waits for Natasha. He reasons that Natasha is either an heiress or needs legal help. As Daniel watches her walk out of the elevator, he decides that rescheduling was worth it; there's something between them. He watches her look for someone or something. Daniel wonders if she's looking for him.
The fact that Daniel's interviewer needed to reschedule when Daniel wanted to reschedule anyway adds more weight to the possibility of the existence of destiny, since it seems as though the world is conspiring to make sure Natasha and Daniel get to spend more time together.
