The sleek, black invitation arrived, a subtle declaration of intention. The sender: her high school. The occasion: the tenth-year reunion. A small, involuntary gasp escaped Eleanor's lips as her eyes landed on the RSVP list. *Daniel*. It was all she’d needed to see.

She found herself unable to focus on anything else. She spent hours lost in thought, revisiting memories, analyzing every detail of their past interactions. The way he had made her laugh, the way he had looked at her.

She ordered a new dress, a new pair of shoes, a new… everything. She needed to look perfect, to feel confident. He was coming, and she had to be ready. The mere prospect of seeing him had her heart racing.
