One Saturday morning, Alex headed out to the local farmers’ market, hoping to find some fresh ingredients for a weekend dinner. Wandering through the stalls, the aroma of fresh bread and herbs filled the air. At a small vegetable stand, Alex reached for a bunch of carrots just as someone else did. They laughed, realizing they’d both picked the exact same bunch. The two exchanged a few friendly words about cooking and favorite recipes, then each grabbed a different bunch with a smile. As Alex continued through the market, the encounter left a small but cheerful mark on the day.
