cross paths
Run into someone
To cross paths with someone is to encounter them, usually by chance rather than arrangement: We crossed paths at the airport.
The phrase suggests a brief or coincidental meeting—two trajectories intersecting momentarily before continuing on their separate ways.
I hope we cross paths again someday.
