"This is the best pizza I've ever had," Michael announced, crumbs dusting his chin. He couldn't stop smiling as he sat across from Emily, relishing the shared laughter and easy conversation. The evening had been effortless, like they’d known each other forever. He felt weightless.

Michael was confused. He looked at Emily and his stomach dropped as he realized that the message was from a name he didn't recognize.
