The email arrived with a simple subject line: “Local!” Sarah gasped, her breath catching in her throat. For months, she’d been exchanging witty messages with "AstroGirl88" about constellations and cosmic mysteries.

She tapped her fingers rapidly on her desk, already planning her outfit for their first meeting. Her cheeks flushed with warmth. Today felt like a win.
