Unbeknownst to her, he had noticed her leaving just as he arrived on his scooty. The missed connection weighed on both their minds, a silent longing lingering in the air, as they went about their respective tasks, worlds briefly intersecting yet unable to converge.

And as they marked one month and a week of talking, anticipation bubbled within her, eager to see where their journey would lead. With each passing day, their connection grew stronger, and she couldn't help but feel excited about the possibilities that lay ahead in their shared future.
