The air crackled with excitement as Leo walked into the bar, his eyes scanning the crowd for Olivia. She was late, but that only added to the nervous anticipation bubbling inside him. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of dates, laughter, and stolen kisses. He loved her laugh, the way she made him feel, the way she looked at him. She was perfect, he thought, and all that he wanted.

As he took his seat at the bar, he noticed another man already there, a man he recognized from his gym. "Hey, man," the guy called out, waving him over. "You won't believe it, Olivia stood me up. She is meant to be here with me."
