Tom was a normal person... 3

Everything happened so fast that I can hardly remember what went wrong. Tom was a normal person, at least he was until then. He had recently graduated in architecture, but was working at a small advertising company designing logos and slogans since nobody wants an architect with no real experience. 
Tom didn't like his job, actually, Tom hated his job. He had studied to design buildings, skyscrapers, towers...

One day he decided to give up that crappy job, what he didn't know is that on that day he not only wouldn't leave his job, but also would regret that day for the rest of his life. 

That was the first day of the new secretary, Kate. Tom was cleaning his desk just before going to communicate his resignation to his boss when he saw her, he thought she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen, long black hair and a smile that would brighten the day of a death row inmate. Tom was feeling strange, he had never felt like that before, was it love at first sight perhaps? 

During the following days Tom had done more photocopies than in his entire career. He and Kate began dating a few weeks later. They went to the movies, restaurants, even talked about moving in together. 
They had been dating for over a year, Tom was the happiest man in the world and thought he had already waited long enough, and that it was time to settle down. 

He bought a ring and thought about the best way to ask her to marry him, suddenly the phone rang, it was her, she said they needed to talk and that she would be waiting at the cafeteria where they had their first date, Tom thought that it was the perfect place to propose, the place where everything began and would end. Tom went happily to the cafeteria with the ring in his pocket, planning to surprise her with the proposal, he was sure she would say yes.

Tom arrived  only to see Kate crestfallen sitting at a table at the bottom of the cafeteria. Suprised, Tom asked what was wrong and she replied that they needed to talk. Kate explained that she saw no future in their relationship and that they should break before going any further. Tom was silent, he couldn't believe his ears, then without saying anything he walked out of the cafeteria and realised men and women are from different planets.
