“ It is just like when it happened in the school. I try to look in random directions to catch a glimpse of her from the corner of my eye. I keep making these imaginary scenarios in my head where I run into her and we start talking. Man, I am telling you I think I like this girl. ” 
 
 He was expressing his crush on a girl to his friend, who merely kept nodding his head throughout the narration. His friend asked if he has tried talking to the girl in real, to which he replied, “ I ’ ve tried, but couldn ’ t go past casual short talk. I love going on these walks in the evenings. I want to invite her to come along some day. And at the right moment during our walk, I ’ ll let her know that I love her. ” 
 
 His friend said, “ That looks like a plan. Good luck. ” 
 
 He thanked him, turned around and began walking towards the direction of his cubicle. 
 
 A few days later, a moment arrived when he ran into her during the lunch hour. They both exchanged the smiles. He cleared his throat and tried striking a conversation. She played along. He eventually asked, “ Do you like going on walks? ” 
 
 She nodded guessing where the conversation the heading. He asked, “ Would you like to go on a walk with me after the office today? I go on one daily. For 15 minutes. Helps me focus better. Perhaps you might find it useful… ” 
 
 Before he could finish his sentence, she replied, “ I ’ d love to. Let ’ s meet just outside the office at 7 then? ”

 The route that he took that day was longer than what he used to take. With their bags on the shoulders, the two began walking while the evening breeze caressed their cheeks. For him, it was just like a school crush. His eyes were straight ahead but he was still looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Purposefully, he would sometimes slow down his pace to lag just behind and notice her earrings. 
 
 They were half way on their walk and she seemed to enjoy the conversation. It seemed like a good moment for him to express his love. He did. And she stood still. The smile on her face was gone. She turned towards him and replied, “ I can not love. Again. I loved once. Can not again. I ’ m so sorry. It ’ s not you, it ’ s me. I ’ ll love someone again the day hell freezes over. That ’ s how far I feel I am from love. ” 
 
 He smiled. They walked back in total silence.

 At night, a loud thud noise woke her up. She fumbled with the switches and turned on the lights. It was Satan that appeared in her room, shivering, and covered in snow. 
 
 Satan said, “ The hell froze over. Now, go, love. ”
