He was trapped in an awkward small talk conversation when she walked in. Everything else faded away. He completely forgot what he was saying. She had a certain way of moving, an elegance he couldn't take his eyes off of. He felt as if an invisible thread had pulled him towards her.

He knew he was being rude, staring like this, but he couldn't stop. He noticed the bracelet on her wrist. It was a replica of the one his brother had given him.

When their eyes met, a jolt went through him. “Is that… are you…?” he started, unsure how to finish. The look on her face told him everything he needed to know. He started again, "I guess you probably know why we're here." The way she smiled back felt like a sunbeam.
