The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the manicured lawns. The fairy lights were twinkling, creating a magical atmosphere. She felt as though she were living a dream, all thanks to the day she was having.

Suddenly, a voice spoke from behind her. It was a voice she knew so well, a voice that had once been her world. "Stella? Is that you?"

She turned, her heart skipping a beat. It was Ethan, her ex-boyfriend. She took a moment to compose herself, her expression open. "Ethan! How are you?"

He looked surprised. "I'm good... you look amazing."

She took a breath and smiled. "So do you."
