The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Michael discovered the manuscript on the desk. He felt a sudden, exhilarating rush. It was his. Or, rather, it was about him. He was the hero.

He recognized the setting immediately—their apartment, their neighborhood, their life. The protagonist, a charismatic architect, shared his career, his interests, and even his name. The heroine, a quirky artist, was, of course, her. The details were stunningly precise.

He took a sip of his coffee, savoring the moment. He had been wanting to tell her something lately, and now he had something to work with. He had an idea.
