A quiet spin of love questions

I was just sitting there, waiting for a friend who was running late. The cafe was quiet, and I was scrolling through my phone, not really looking at anything. My thumb landed on an old app I hadn't opened in ages, one of those random wheel spinners.

Just letting the wheel decide

I tapped it open, and it was still set to some old list of silly questions. I gave it a spin, just to see. The question it landed on was so simple: "What's a small thing that always makes you smile?"It wasn't a deep or complicated prompt. But in that quiet space, it actually made me stop and think. I wasn't trying to solve anything or be productive. It was just a gentle nudge to look inward for a second.

The questions that felt right

I started adding a few more questions to the wheel, ones that felt soft and open. Nothing about the future or heavy commitments. Just little curiosities about feelings and moments.Each one was like a pebble dropped into the still water of that afternoon. They created ripples of thought that were pleasant, not demanding. It turned a bit of dead time into something quietly reflective.I ended up with a small collection. They're not for a big conversation, necessarily. More for those in-between moments when your mind is idling and could use a gentle, loving direction to wander in.

A smile at the surprise

When my friend finally arrived, flustered and apologetic, I just smiled. I didn't mention the wheel or the questions. But the quiet contentment from that little exercise stayed with me, a small, private surprise in an ordinary wait.
