Someone

I met a young woman, aged 23, who has just graduated from the UK. She is petite, fair-skinned, slightly chubby with a double chin, and has a cheerful personality, always laughing, talkative, and energetic. She is the granddaughter of a prominent business tycoon in Malaysia, and I am quite close to her grandfather, who has asked me to guide her in business.

She reminds me of someone I was once very close to nearly two decades ago. As my mind wanders, the song Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran begins to play in my playlist.
