The vibrant colors of the playground suddenly seemed faded and dull. Olivia watched as Daniel, now a tall, broad-shouldered man, looked at her with a blank expression. They had been inseparable as children, their days filled with epic adventures and shared dreams. She had approached him, a smile illuminating her face, only to be met with: "I'm afraid you have the wrong person."
