A kaleidoscope of colors blurred past Olivia as she whizzed through the city, the wind whipping through her hair. The news that she’d found Liam, her lost best friend, had turned her world upside down. Her steps were large, confident. She burst into the coffee shop, scanning the tables. There, in the corner, was the man himself. She flew towards the table, her heart pounding. "Liam!" she exclaimed, her voice thick with emotion. The man looked up, his expression blank. "I… I don't believe we've met." The vibrant cityscape suddenly seemed to dim.
