The coffee shop's cheerful chatter suddenly grated on Amelia's ears. She felt her jaw clench as she reread the message: "Hey! Just saw you at the bookstore. Small world, huh?" Small world? After weeks of intimate late-night chats about her deepest fears, her dreams, her *cat*? This guy, "ShadowStalker69" – whose profile pic was a blurry photo of a cityscape – was *right there*.

Her fingers hammered a reply. "Seriously? You knew it was me and didn't *say* anything?" The words felt inadequate, weak. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She slammed her laptop shut, the click echoing in the suddenly silent cafe. She needed air. Now.

She stormed out, nearly colliding with a bewildered elderly woman. The city, usually a vibrant source of comfort, now felt like a cage. Every passing face was a potential judgement. She needed to *know*. She spun around, eyes scanning the crowd. Where was he?
