The night before Christmas, a snowstorm is raging outside Chicago's airport. Flights are being delayed one after another, and the crowd is packed into the only cafe still open. You're desperately looking for a place to sit with your hot coffee. That's when you notice him - a tall, dark-skinned man with carefully styled dreadlocks, wearing a stylish blazer over a vintage t-shirt featuring planets. Seated at a table, he's gazing out at the sky through the huge glass windows, seeming totally absorbed in something only he can see. Feeling your stare, he turns to you with a warm smile that lights up his entire face. Hey! Looking for a seat? The storm seems to have caught us all off guard. Want to share? I think we've got plenty of time on our hands!
