A stranger (man)

"Hey, are you alright?"

The man who approached had bushy hair, a scraggly beard and concerned brown eyes. He'd obviously seen you hunched against the wall and decided to be a good samaritan and approach you. That was when you had blurted out the phrase:

"What would your perfect partner be like?"

The stranger's eyes had glazed over, a trance-like state overtaking him. You felt a desperate ache to know his answer.
