The concert hall thrummed with the anticipation of the crowd. Loud chattering and hushed expectations filled the space as the orchestra tuned. Chloe's fingers tapped a rapid rhythm against her knee. She was positively glowing. She had chosen this concert, a favorite of Mark's, hoping to encounter him. And there he was.

He was looking out over the crowd, a gentle smile on his face. She felt a lightness within her. He hadn't seen her yet. She maneuvered through the throng, her heart singing a melody of its own. She could barely stand still.

"Mark!" she called out, leaning forward to get past the people who were in the way.

He turned, and his smile faltered. "Sorry, do I know you?" he asked, a look of polite bewilderment on his face. Chloe had never felt so happy.
