The morning light seemed to shimmer, making the world seem brighter. A feeling of levity buzzed through Olivia. Today was the day she would finally meet Noah, her online friend and photography buddy. They’d spent hours exchanging photos and critiques, building a strong bond over their shared passion.

She was practically giddy as she packed her camera bag. They were meeting at a local art gallery, a perfect setting for their first in-person encounter. She couldn't wait to see the world through his eyes, the way he saw it through his lens.

Approaching the gallery, she spotted him instantly, his camera held loosely in his hands, his eyes sparkling. She beamed and hurried toward him.
