The sunset cast long shadows across the beach as Finn walked hand-in-hand with Emily. The ocean breeze whipped through his hair, and the salty air tasted sweet. He'd finally found her, the woman he’d been searching for. She’d told him she was madly in love with him. He felt as though the world was made of rainbows, and he was basking in their light. He stopped, turned to her, and pulled her close. "You know," he started, his voice thick with emotion, "I..."

"Oh, hey, honey!" a woman’s voice chirped. Finn turned to see a woman in a bright sundress waving at him. "Ready to go? I'm starving!" He recognized the voice. It was Sarah, an old friend. She looked at him with confusion, then her face registered recognition. "Finn? What are you doing here?"
